Sunday Feature Artist: Elisabetta Trevisan


Hi everyone !   I am excited to share with you the work of Italian artist, Elisabetta Trevisan.  She was born in 1957 in Merano, a town in northern Italy, bordering on Austria.  She attended the art school of Padua and her father is a famous illustrator and cartoonist.

"I have always devoted myself mainly to painting. My artworks are realized using medium density panels on which I work mixing different techniques; gouache, pastel, water colour. I also decorate on backed clay, glass, wood, fabrics, mural surfaces and self-made Papier-maché objects. Moreover, I have contributed as an illustrator to many magazines, illustrated a children book on ecology in collaboration with Ente Parco Fiume Sile, painted a collector's pack of tarot ed. Lo Scarabeo – Torino, realized settings for animated films for the television."

The Passage

Klairi Angelou writes:

"Elisabetta Trevisan, inspired by the Renaissance and the Pre-Raphaelites with their infamous depiction of female figures in interior and exterior environments, has created a stunning oeuvre dominated by women with beautiful hair styles and flowing fabrics."

You can find her in Facebook

Our challenge is to write a new poem or prose poem or flash fiction (250 words limit)  based on the work & theme (women) of Elisabetta Trevisan. If you upload her image/s in your writing, please acknowledge the name of the artist and link to her site. She has expressed interest in our work and I will be sending her the link after we have completed our challenge.   I will be checking in during the week to see if anyone else has linked up. 

Wishing you all Happy Weekend ~ Grace (aka Heaven)

    I'm sure many toads are rolling up their sleeves. I expect some incredible poetry for this prompt.

    Grazie, Elisabetta.

  6. Very cool, Grace. Thanks for the introduction to Ms. Trevisan's unique work. I have resurrected, rewritten and revised an older poem not previously published at Verse Escape that was forcibly called to mind by the artwork called Chimera. I hope this falls within the guidelines.

  13. An interesting artist indeed, Grace. I can easily see her style as background for an animated cartoon (one of my brothers has an animation studio) and I can also see her work complementing Hedgewitch's, although I haven't read anyone else's because I haven't posted yet.
