The work "Desde la otra orilla" transports us in a highly suggestive, dominated by a twilight sometimes hot, sometimes cold, marked by a grazing light that gives a tone faded and at the same time very clear. The painting may seem abstract of mold, characterized by colors that fade into one another, as in the works of Rotchko; However, if the observer focuses closely, you can identify, to Beyond the intonations of color perfectly matched, a landscape little defined, far and spatially extensive.
What distinguishes this painting from a landscape or by a marina any, however, is the particular technique that Mònica Serra has here, and in other works, adopted: the entire surface of the framework, in fact, it is affected by the thin lines of color clear (a bright yellow), which seem to have been left pouring from top to bottom, following the severity of their weight.


The artist Carlo Guidetti presents itself to 56. Venice Biennale with digital photography "Guatemalan Paradise", which draws direct reference to the cemetery of the town of Chichicastenango, Guatemala town, a cemetery that blends the cult Maya and Christian, to following the landing in the Spanish earth.
A cemetery unusual because conspicuously colored, colors that change depending on who is lovingly buried by loved ones: the white color is used for the fathers, the mothers for turquoise, blue for children, pink for girls, yellow for grandparents, creating a multitude of colors. The work of this Guidetti extracts colorful burial site to place it later in a space timeless heavenly, whose predominant color is an ethereal white candor in which
applies the silence and calm, spirit guides of the true and pure meditation work.
