Art and science, two separate worlds?

 

Through her art, the artist is searching for a balance between the natural and the anthropic world, through a pictorial expression developed alongside his university studies in geology.

The majesty of natural landscapes, alpine or sometimes exotic, led Alice to graduate in Earth sciences. With its 4,5 billion years, our planet is in fact an endless source of inspiration for the artist, who, in addition to rocks, explores with ever greater interest the living part of ecosystems.

In recent years, the artist realized that what interests her even more is understanding how to preserve these magnificent ecosystems, which are increasingly threatened. Alongside the analysis of rocks and mountains, she felt the need to also integrate an artistic component: painting them, together with the nature that accompanies them, allowed her to express her passion for nature in another way, while at the same time transmitting a message to the observer.
 

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In fact, art is a powerful means of communication. Observing a painting or a photo that depicts an Alpine ecosystem is more accessible and immediate than reading a study with numbers and data that describe its evolution in recent years.

Alice's aim is therefore to carry forward discussions anchored in science, but through an artistic approach, in search of a meeting point between science, art, but also ethics and emotion.
 

So no, art and science are not two separate worlds, but complementary. And in this way the artist wants to carry them forward.
