The Olive Women - Florence Biennale
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Angie Del Riego and I am an artist working and living from my studio in Extremadura, Spain. I am very fortunate to be selected by an international committee to present my new series "The Olive Women" in one of the most important art events in the world: the XI Florence Biennale 2017 . This annual art event takes place this October in Florence, Italy, October 6th through 15th.
I am creating this campaign to raise €5,000 that is needed to secure my exhibit space at the Biennale, plus the costs of shipping my art, transportation, and lodging for the dates of the event in Florence. My deadline is October 30th.
I want to tell you why you would want to sponsor my project "The Olive Women". First of all, the theme of the Florence Biennale this year is Earth: Creativity and Sustainability and that is what my Olive Women represent, for they are inspired from ancient olive trees. They are mythical figures created by my imagination while sitting under an olive tree in my partner's olive grove. While watching my partner pick olives the old fashioned way, I drew the amazing figures that I saw in those trees. Letting my imagination fly away, inspiration became a force in the most spontaneous way that sparked creativity, portraying women as ancient as those olive trees; as givers of life. And I came to realize that like mother nature cradles earth, my drawings portray how these 'Olive Women' cradle sustainability. They are diverse in all their shapes and forms, but are one in unity of spirit with the gift of motherhood as the base of sustainability.
The Olive Women series is a metaphor that promotes earth appreciation through imagination and creativity through art. It gives a visual voice to sustainability of our environment, with women as protagonists and motherhood as the Pilar of our society.
So if you believe in the power of womanhood and our nurturing relationship with Earth, if you think that the fundamental values of motherhood and health of our environment are threatened, and if you want to utilize art to empower our environment through our feminine nature, then I invite you to join my campaign! Become an Olive Woman and patron of The Olive Women by sponsoring my series at the Florence Biennale for the sake of "Earth: Creativity and Sustainability".
Thank you! - Artist, Angiel Del Riego
