Disegno Zebre

The zebra is an apparently tranquil animal, but of a wild and unpredictable nature that lives in a herd.

Thanks to its mantle, it is associated with the duality of light and shadow, free spirit and common sense.

Precisely for this reason there are different symbolic meanings.

According to some, the zebra teaches to find the right balance to be realized in all aspects of life, it evades danger and this is the key to its survival. The force of freedom, the power of deception towards enemies.

It also represents the discovery is the observation of self. More squat of the horse but rich in meaning.

 

The painting Zebres is a contemporary work, made of acrylic on canvas 100X70, where two examples are hand painted in affectionate attitude, almost a hug that deceives the view, making it seem that they blend into each other dissolving into the canvas.

Their coat is crossed by color that flows through the canvas from top to bottom, to awaken the gaze and to represent the colors of energy.

Art exhibition “Animus et Anima”

Art exhibition “Animus et Anima”

“Every man has a woman in himself and every woman has a man in him.”

These are the words of C. G. Jung, psychoanalyst and anthropologist, according to which Animus and Anima are the two archetypes that give us perhaps better than others a vision of how dual being can be.

 

This is the theme of the contemporary art exhibition “Animus et Anima” which will take place from 23 February to 6 March 2019, in the San Severo al Pendino complex, in via Duomo in Naples.

In this exhibition will also be exposed the latest work of the painter Monica Caiazzo made giving free interpretation and expression to the theme of dualism between male and female.

The exhibition will last 12 days and on the 23rd and 24th it will be an opportunity to meet her, as Monica Caiazzo will attend the room.

 

Monica Caiazzo Animus Et Anima

His work therefore defines the SOUL that feminine energy present in the psyche of man and ANIMUS that masculine energy present in the psyche of the woman.

Just as every feeling contains its opposite, hatred coexists with love, submission with prevarication, conscious with the unconscious, duality also applies to the two biological kinds, the masculine and the feminine.

So the SOUL is defined as that feminine energy present in the psyche of man and ANIMUS that masculine energy present in the psyche of the woman.

Present in the collective imagination forever and metaphorized in dreams and in art, the Soul brings to consciousness the principle of EROS, or love, that is, stimulates union, the Animus brings to consciousness the principle of LOGOS, or reason, that is, it emphasizes the distinction: the Soul means bond, union, protection, affectivity, care, maintenance, while the Animus specularly means reflexivity, control, analysis, weighting, rationality, calculation, decision, programming, distinction.

Only the perfect integration of both these two forces, masculine and feminine, embracing and maintaining the two energies, will lead the individual to the harmonization of his being, just as a candle is the whole of light and shadow.
