De occulta philosophia Recently, I have been thinking about the idea of simplicity, simplicity in its every form, in a world that is constantly transforming and getting progressively more complex while basic human needs have remained the same for centuries. In my work, I was feeling uninspired and tired of trying to achieve perfection while respecting lines and colours in order to represent reality and to ultimately create something beautiful. I felt constrained by my own rules, as if I were in a box, a cell that I created for my own protection. I was scared of leaving these confines both in my art and in my life. My painting was controlled at every moment and I was not able to let go of my fears. My only choice was to stop painting. It was really painful having to let go of the control that I had been used to my entire life, so I decided to take a trip and reconnect with nature. After having had time to think and look deeply into my work, I decided to break the rules and started experimenting with dripping colours, living formal shapes and more spontaneous brush strokes. It felt like a complete liberation and in the middle of all this chaos there it was, the Golden Ratio, a perfect proportion that contains in its formula the secret to perfection. At that one moment, everything became clear to me and I knew exactly what I was doing. Many artists since the Renaissance have based their work on the Golden Ratio or "Divine Proportion", a geometric proportion essential to creating aesthetically pleasing art. Similar scales are also often present in human made shapes perhaps due to the fact that this particular ratio facilitates the scanning of images and their transmission to the brain. Also known as the Fibonacci sequence, the Golden Ratio is a simple pattern and it appears to be everywhere in nature. This suggests its importance as a fundamental characteristic of the Universe. I wanted to combine this geometrical perfection of nature with my newfound spontaneity to create an image full of poetry that embodies every aspect of who I am and where my life is now. Also depicted in the black background are the unknown, the Cosmos and its infinite possibilities.

Saatchi Art NFT artist #SaatchiArtNFTArtist #Fair Director's Pick Saatchi art AAF NYC Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea March 22 – 26, 2023 ART on Paper 2022 New York City www.kareninafabrizzi.com I have been always fascinated by nature, the behavior of animals, the way that flowers and plants grow and how we are a big part of it, the subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. In my work I want to bring nature closer to the observer, to connect people with their roots and memories. Organic elements are essential as they show us, like in a fairy tale, the link between the subconscious mind and the actual world. This, besides having an apparent dark side, also embodies a sense of fragility and Vulnerability, which seems to be a consistent characteristic of my work. Delicate graphite lines, a subtle oil color palette, ink and rice paper all amalgamate to create layer after layer a particularly dreamy look that distinguishes my work. About the technique Each painting that I create is a unique dance with a variety of materials, unique to each work. I often refer back to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which i prepare myself from scratch in the same way that the renaissance masters would have done. I always use oils and inks in my work. The quality of these mediums enables me to build up subtle and rich layers, from which my poetic images appear. Each work is always a battle between exposing and suppressing different areas until the perfect balance of color and form is achieved.
