ABOUT ME

About Me  Ilariaratti.com Abstract Paintings Colours Art

I am an artist deep inside. I was born in Lugano, Switzerland. I have a degree in economics and administration. Fortunately, now I am an artist and I spend my life painting. I love colours. I mainly paint abstract paintings for individuals and for companies on request. I love to travel around the world. Every culture and landscape inspires me to create a world full of colours and images. I capture them for my paintings. Emotions and harmony with the universe are key. in 2008 I moved to Dubai and continue to explore and paint. What was a private passion slowly became a path of self-knowledge until I decided to share this passion with others.

With my paintings I hope to bring serenity and joy to the people who are attracted to them.

“People started telling me that my paintings were constantly changing. Depending on their mood, they could see something different, but always soothing and light. For me, that was a beautiful thing and an encouragement to keep going”

MY PASSIONS BEYOND ART

I am a yogini, initiated on Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya in 2016 by Sadhguru in Coimbatore, India. I’m performing various yoga styles (Hatha, Iyengar and Kundalini) since many years. I’ve attended workshops in India, Thailand, Bali and Europe, conducted by the most renowned indian Teachers and Yogis. My latest initiation has been on Bhairavi Sadhana in early 2021.

ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY

I’ve been learning Oriental Philosophies from great Masters and Mystics for the past 20 years. I’m an ACIM student. I’ve been initiated by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama in Buddhist Scriptures under the name of Padma Vagira in 2004.

TRAVELS

I love to travel around the world. Being located in the middle east the most common destination are now Far East. With a special love to India…

JEWELS

Inspired by my asian trips i’ve started to make small pieces of jewelry. My favorites are the ones with semi precious stones or crystals in which i put intentions and energies..

HEALING

I’ve learned healing modalities from Swami and Gurus. All my artworks are charged with energy. The idea is to hang in a wall not only a nice painting but something infused with healing forces.

Launched in 2004, PGH is a massive tree planting movement that aims to increase the green cover in the state of Tamil Nadu by inspiring and enabling people to plant trees. The project supports ecological renewal and protection through tree plantation and natural farming. .

I’m part of the Save Soil launched by Sadhguru, that is a global movement to address the soil crisis by bringing together people from around the world to stand up for Soil Health, and supporting leaders of all nations to institute national policies and actions toward increasing the organic content in cultivable Soil.

WHAT IS ABSTRACT ART?

“Abstract art has been with us in one form or another for almost a century now and has proved to be not only a long-standing crux of cultural debate but a self-renewing, vital tradition of creativity. We know that it works, even if we’re still not sure why that’s so, or exactly what to make of that fact.”

You may like abstract art outright, hate it or not understand exactly what it is, but since you’ve started reading this, I can at least assume you’re curious about this perplexing art form that evades definition and artistic classification.

Abstract art has been around for well over 100 years. Some might even assert that abstraction started with the cave paintings of thousands of years ago—and has held its own against changing art movements, manifestos and testimonials for all these centuries.

Abstract Art

The definition. Abstraction literally means the distancing of an idea from objective referents. That means, in the visual arts, pulling a depiction away from any literal, representational reference points. You can also call abstract art nonrepresentational art.

The Highlights

The first signs. Abstraction can be traced to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Cubism. All three helped realize the idea that art could be non-representative.

The movement. Modern abstract art was born early in the 20th century. It was completely radical for its day. Artists began to create simplified objections with little or no reference to the “real” world.

The father. The first artist to create abstract art as we know it will always remain a mystery but Wassily Kandinsky is often credited by historians as he created paintings of floating, norepresentational forms as early as 1912. His work brought abstraction to America during the Armory Show in 1913.

The present. Abstract art now lives in the art world in many forms. It is two- and three-dimensional. It can be vast or small. Abstract art can also be made with many materials and on many surfaces. It can be used in concert with representational art or completely abstract. Artists creating it often focus on other visual qualities like color, form, texture, scale and more in their nonobjective work.

Why Should I Care?

The continuing interest in abstract art lies in its ability to inspire our curiosity about the reaches of our imagination and the potential for us to create something completely unique in the world.

A major obstacle to making an abstract artwork is the barrier in your mind that questions whether abstract art is a legitimate art form—legitimate for you at least. This block may be because you still wonder, “Is abstract art really ‘art’ at all?” Possibly you think you have to master realism before you can work abstractly? Or it could be that you worry your friends and family won’t approve?

A way of seeing…

“The more I attempt to make something real as a painter, the more abstract it becomes. I love this paradox. As each year goes by, I’m increasingly engaged with the way abstraction and depiction, or realism—or whatever you want to call it—are actually intimately joined, and in constant struggle with [one another]. It comes down to how the world is perceived. Can I paint a forest without rendering a single tree? Or show the entirety of the forest with just one tree?” Eric Aho
