About the artwork
"Lotus Tian" reimagines the mandala as a star-like lotus form, radiating with symbolism. An iridescent blue vortex shimmering like the waters of Venice anchors the center, surrounded by lotus petals in pink, purple, and green, symbolizing purity. The artwork's outer edge is a breathtaking display of meticulously arranged butterflies, forming the points of the star-like structure. Each butterfly, with its intricate wing patterns, seems poised for flight, suggesting a sense of transformation and the ephemeral nature of existence.
About the artist
Annalù (A. Boeretto) was born in San Donà di Piave, Venice, in 1976 and lives in her stilt house on the right bank of the Piave river in Passarella di San Donà di Piave. Annalù’s works have been shown in a number of Italian and foreign museums, and can be found in public and private collections around the world. She has also received several awards and has been selected as an Italian representative in the International collective exhibition at the Moya Museum in Vienna. An adept of metamorphosis, Annalu seems to penetrate the mystery of creation and assembles in her works materials such as resin and paper, bark and fibreglass, bitumen and sand, cement and roots, to create new realities, suspended worlds, imaginary architectures where alchemy is lightness.
