Franco Baldazzi was born in Florence in 1969. Today he lives in the province of Sondrio. After finishing school, he abandoned the practice of painting for some years. From a very young age, he accompanies, in fact the passion for art in a parallel working life, which often involves significant setbacks in his creative journey. Periods of fervid production, alternating with deep moments of reflection, outline the stages of a painting that absorbs and intertwines the emotional life of the Tuscan, in style increasingly personal, not ascribable to schools or movements.

Can you tell us about the moment you decided to pursue a career as an artist?

I have to confess, I don't even know if I consciously decided that. However, I can still remember when, shortly before finishing my elementary school, it was a question of what you wanted to become and what goals you wanted to pursue in life. At that time I said I had one dream: I would like to officially call myself an artist one day – as I have painted and drawn since I was a young girl. So I enrolled at the Vienna School of Art and studied Multidisciplinary Art.

Dominie Chan (b. 1995) is passionate about eco-art and eco-aesthetics; she produces ephemeral, site-specific installations and paintings in which the body and mind and nature interact and influence each other in the process of creation. As an eco-artist, she is aware of the impact that poses of artists, not only in the artist community but also on society and the environment. Her goal is to use fine art as a way to raise awareness about nature and the need to conserve it.

Can you tell us about the moment you decided to pursue a career as an artist?

My decision came after a period of intense grief and in a moment in which my duties as a university professor of computer science were scaling down. My need for creativity has been fulfilled by my research activities for a long time, but as my interest in computer science started to wane, I found that photography was the right thing for me. As I have been photographing since I was a kid, I already had all the technical expertise and this allowed me to concentrate on content and creativity rather than on technique.

Since graduating her Master in Fine Art in 2008 and based on her architectural studies, her work has focussed on the theme of the ”man-made construction”, through which she investigates both the nature of the architectural construction – as well as how a construction describes the society, it is a part of.

We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?

Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

Sinuous, intertwined wildlife bridge worlds of the living and the dead in Lauren Marx’s intricate multi-media work. Twisting fox heads, disemboweled deer, and lambs bursting with flowers and birds are rendered with watercolor, ink, pen, and colored pencil. Marx often places her animal compositions on semi-abstract backgrounds, awash with grey tones that give a sense of weightlessness to the dense drawings by evoking fog or clouds.

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?

As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.
