Back Rose Ball - A night of Gothic extravaganza and tombola!

Not only the Black Rose Ball has been, literally, a true spellbinding feast for the eyes but being part of it has been such an incredible experience no words can really describe it.

First and foremost my thanks go to all those commendably hard-working members of the Black Rose Ball crew for creating such a wonderful night of splendour and then to all the attendees with their amazing dresses and energy (lot of dance!) for making it really spectacular.

After promising to donate a small art piece for the tombola, I was kindly invited to participate to the event with some paintings and prints, so I was given space to exhibit my work but also I had the blissful opportunity to meet so many people who seemed to like my work! Such a great feeling.

This is my piece 'Black Rose Masquerade' during the tombola. I was touched by the amount of people buying tickets with the hope to win my little painting. In the end I took a photo of the rightful winner:

Thank you Black Rose Ball, I am already looking forward to next year event!

Black Rose Ball York - a night of Gothic splendour

There has been a few editions of the Gothic masquerade 'Black Rose Ball' in York and I feel really privileged to have been invited by the two wonderful and really dedicated organizers, Alex and Estelle, to exhibit some of my work at this year's event!!! I will be there selling individually re-touched glicee prints alongside original paintings.

The masquerade ball and related pre-ball concert not only is an amazing social event for the York community, bringing the splendour of Goth to the hearth of the city, but it is also for a good cause, since all the profits go to St. Leonard's Hospice.
To support this noble charity, I have created a small piece which will be one of the prizes for the ball's Tombola. The piece is called Black Masquerade and represents the mask that all the attendees have to wear on the night so to keep identity (not so much) secret.

~~If you are in York on Saturday 19th September 2015 and like to join us for a dance or two, please do come! Come one, Come all to the Ball!! ~~

Charity Work

After what it feels like a very long break, here I am, finally working on some artworks!!! It was about time I say!

This time I have created a long overdue series for a UK charity. There is nothing better than creating some art for a good cause so I am totally thrilled to be one of the participating artists. These pieces are extremely glittered and glossy despite the small size (CD case size, 12 cm x 12 cm) and I am pretty happy with the final result. I hope profits for their sale will help raise money for those in needs.

As soon as the pieces are up on sale I will  post here details of the charity, just in case someone might want to participate to the cause and buy some art!
