Claudio Lepri

Bareggio - Italy

Effervescenza. Vivacità. Questi termini italiani che traducono "effervescence" sembrano inadeguati di fronte a questa opera. Ma il messaggio nascosto in questa opera è: "Claudio, se vuoi apprezzare la vita, devi ritrovare lo sguardo stupito di te ragazzino che vedeva crescere gli alberi, chsentiva l'erba sotto i piedi nudi, che ascoltava il vento tra le foglie, che si pungeva la mano attraversando il cespuglio". / "Effervescenza" "Vivacità". These italian words that translate "effervescence" look like inappropriate for this artwork. But the hidden message inside the noteable artwork is: "Claudio, if you want to appreciate the life, you have to get back your astonished espression when you child saw the growing of the trees, when you felt the grass under you bare feet, when you heard the wind through the leaves, when your hand scratched itself into the bush".

Lori Pittenger

Redmond, WA - United States

Love your fabulous, perfectly composed, artwork not only visually, but always with depth of meaning and purpose to enlighten!

replied:

Thank you, Lori. You know, the home decor industry has reduced art to the very opposite of "depth of meaning and purpose to enlighten," determining that the most important aspect of art is that it match the rug and fit into the color scheme of the room. This, to me, is a travesty. Art expresses the very wisdom and longings of the soul, and with every painting I create, I do so with the idea of conveying feeling, emotion, meaning, beauty. What that meaning is, is individually to be discovered by the viewer, but my purpose as an artist is to encourage them to look deeper, and seek meaning.

Paul Quinn

Southlake, TX - United States

What a beautiful scene, the little girl wandering care free on a beautiful summer day. What a magnificent story told here!

replied:

Thank you, Paul. I firmly believe that's what good art -- painting or photography -- does. It opens the door for a story, it invites the viewer into a place where they can think, work through things, move to the next step of what it is they are looking for.

Tom Gari Gallery-Three-Photography

Thank you, Tom.

Kay Brewer

Fabulous scene with that adorable little girl! LFT

replied:

Thank you, Kay. Effervescence is another journey into the innocence of country life and childhood, inviting the viewer to stop being busy for awhile and take time to walk through the autumn fields.
