I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN LOVE WITH THE CIRCUS.IN MY CHILDISH IMAGINATION, THE CIRCUS WAS A REFUGE AND A METAPHOR OF LIFE ITSELF.
THE IRONIC “AMUSEMENT" THAT HIDES PAIN, SACRIFICE AND SADNESS….THE CLOWN WHO MAKES EVERYONE LAUGH WITH A PREDETERMINED CLUMSINESS… THE circus has ALWAYS BEEN that MAGICAL PLACE where to LOOK with DARK IRONY the LIFE .THE DARK CHARM OF THE CIRCUS MARQUEE ... OF THEIR CHARACTERS… TRUNKS, CAGES AND MIRRORS….....HORROR FREAK ATMOSPHERE OF THE LAST CENTURY, THAT ONE WITH WHICH I MIXED ART, INTERESTS, MOODS, DREAMS...I WAS THE GIRL WITH THE UNICYCLE, SUSPENDED ON THE WIRE UP HIGH, NO SAFETY NET UNDER.CABLES, ROPES AND CHAINS AROUND ME, AND I WAS IN EQUILIBRIUM WITH A BLACK PARASOL IN ONE HAND .MANY, MANY YEARS LATER, I REMEMBER VIVIDLY A DREAM. I REMEMBER IT AND I READ IT, AND THAT DREAM WAS ABOUT SO MANY CHANGES COMING SOON IN MY LIFEI..........I NEEDED TO FOLLOW WHAT THE DREAM TOLD ME: TAKE A LARGE SIGNBOARD WITH THE INSCRIPTION "MADNESS CIRCUS", MY NEW PAINTING STUDIO. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE STRONG AND HEAVY MAN’S HAND..NOW MY DEMONS, MONSTERS,... OUR CIRCUS FREAK…., ARE HEALED, DRIVEN AWAY OR REVIVED FROM ME AND MY HALF.HE CREATES WITH HIS HANDS, GIVES LIFE TO OUR NIGHTMARES INTO REAL AND TANGIBILE THINGS, I PAINT NIGHTMARES AND NATURE FOREVER ON CANVAS.
FROM 2019 TO 2022, I EXPOSED MY PAINTINGS IN A LOT OF ONLINE GALLERY AND A SOLO SHOW AT MARVELOUS ART GALLERY. COLLECTIVE EXHIBIT AT DARTEWEEK IN lECCE

THE MADNESS CIRCUS OF LILITH DIVINE

A journey through organic architecture, nightmares and fears that destroy the voice of the only mother...

“THE LOVERS”

Dedicated to me and my half, my husband. dedicated to our being "different", "monsters" and "freaks"and even Ancient as only legendary creatures can be so. It seems that the real feelings, nowadays, are like this: just a legend.

“ARTHEMIDE”

We are killing ourself in our home!!!!! Years of alarms and now a global pandemic that continues to kill with no mercy thanking human stupidity and ignorance. The World stops in a general lockdown and the deers and the snow come back .. together with earthquakes, floods and all the distructive repertoire of Mother Nature.... listen to Her Voice...

“THE WISE WOMEN”

Wisdom and knowledge are double-edged weapons... who knows too much and aspires to mystical power, will always clash with the material reality, knowledge is as a joke of nature that fascinates morbidly and frightens.

“VIOLATED”

free violence on a defenseless body. Great men who show the world how strong you are in this way. I SHOUTED NO!!!! but no one has heard. You will rot in the worst possible way , instead of my flowers. assholes .

“ANGEL OF SNOW”

The purity of the snow mixed with the white mantle of rare albino animals. Their death perpetrated by the hand of man. The effort of a few to remedy the mistakes of many , needs an angel to protect them

“LADY GREY WOLF”

“LOST SOULS”

I want to represent today's superficiality and materialism that have made us forget our most ancestral origins (for this reason the
painted skulls are all of rare or extint monkeys and other animals found in museums). We never forget
the spirits and souls of our ancestors and that nature created us and we are destroying it now, otherwise
in the future we will be just skulls in a museum.

Perhaps due to the empathy I feel towards the animal world, I imagined myself as an imaginary skeletal creature. Half skeleton is human and half is animal, split in two. Bones and horns are a complex and perfect architecture, in which I love to take refuge, as in primordial animal instincts. My ideal of perfect beauty in a world ruined by social media and appearances. -100 x 70 CM-
