LORIA ORSATO

Loria Orsato takes part to the project in a precious way, through the creation of the graphic logo taken from a glass painting.

Loria is an artist, coming from Veneto, born in the province of Vicenza, in a small mountain town. She started to paint in the first years of 90's and, since then, she takes part actively to the artistic life, showing her works in international expositions, personal and collective exhibits.

Starting from autodidact activities, Loria is a painter, that works, mainly, with glass, developing a decorative research of a very high artistic level, and creating symbolic paintings, with esotheric and dreamlike roots, where the colours, with their gradients and their combinations, create the structure of an expressive, imaginative language.

Her artistic pieces, whether on glass or on canvas, conquer contemporary art world and are rewiewed and examined by different art critics, as Levi, Vittorio Sgarbi and Philippe d'Averio.
The artistic pieces by Loria Orsato are awarded and are published on riviews and annual reports, such as "Arte Mondadori".

We conclude this introduction about Loria Orsato with some reflections ...
“I am a transparent, fragile and sometimes very thin glass. I can seem a little bit imperfect, but I am manually painted. I am non printed. I am not constructed in series, but I am a unique piece. I can show myself in different forms as artistic glass window, as picture, as table, as lamp, [...]. Everything I will be, remember that I was born from an idea, from an emotion, from a sensation, from a study between transparences and reflections. I do not arise in a while, but I can take shape in time and I deserve the respect for my essence. [...] In me, like in you, an energy flows, that reveals her beauty, only if inside us a light is on. After all, I am and I will always be a glass... a glass in mutation”

FILIPPO FERRARONI

Filippo Ferraroni contributes artistically to the theater concert through the dramaturgy and the theater direction.

Filippo, born in Emilia, to the studies in information engineering, adds, just after the end of "liceo scientifico", different studies and personal researches in philosophy and in psychology.
Along this path, starting from studies about Arthur Schopenhauer, in philosophical fields, and about Hermann Hesse, in literature territories, he analyzes many elements in psychology, through the studies of books and works by Sigmund Freud, then going through detailed studies about the experiences of Carl Gustav Jung and of James Hillman, till reaching fetal and protomental theory by Antonio Imbasciati.

Besides, when he was about twenty years old, he got closer to studies in Orientalism, facing, first of all, the study about Buddism, proceeding, then, with the studies about Hinduism and, lately, about Taoism.

With the passion for music, he had been studying and practicing opera choir singing, for about 10 years: that was the good context also for studying in details theater theories and practice, in particular, about direction and the composition of text for music.
With the deep interest in compared anthropology and in ethnomusicology, he studies ethnic percussions, as djembè and udu.

Starting from music, Filippo faces the theme of vocality, also with concerning psychoanalytical ties, following the traces of Demetrio Stratos and the teachings of the voice psychologist Laura Pigozzi.

He has got a natural inclination for writing and he sustains the writing of books, as scientific and philosophic essay and as biographic stories, considering the writing as an introspective and expression need and not merely as a form of commercial publication.

Filippo considers the theater as a point for a meeting between different artistic forms, where the wirting of texts is merely a part.

ANNA BARBARA OLSZEWSKA

Anna Barbara Olszewska has got the very precious role of fashion designer for the theater concert and sketches the stage costumes.

Anna Barbara is as artist coming from Varsaw and is living in Italy since so long, this is to say, since she started her professional activities as fashion model, then to become a stylist for high quality Italian factories.

Anna Barbara, besides a fashion designer, is a very good painter, with classic studies, that emerge also in the work as stylist. As a painter, the recurring theme of Anna Barbara is the portrait.
In this last period, for Barbara the time has come to unite explicitly the fashion world together with the painting world.

So, having Anna Barbara in our artistic group is a great honour and a distinctive sign, that gives, together with the presence of Fiamma and Loria, an artistic and worthy value.
