A very significant artwork for me as it is one from the many I made during the Covid 19 lockdown in Italy. Being forced home I went through all the photographs I took during the three years I've been living in London and made oil pastel on paper inspired by them. Making this series has been great for me as it gave me the chance to feel all the emotions I felt while I was in London, a city that I love. Most of the photographs were taken in restaurants as my boyfriend was working as a chef at the time and I am always in for dining out and enjoying new places where I can sketch people immersed in beautifully curated interiors. This is one is slightly different from most of the drawings from this series, as it depicts the exterior of a restaurant that struck me for the beautiful name and design of the place and, of course, because of the bright coloured bikes parked just outside. I remember being on a running session so I couldn't stop there but I allowed myself a second of rest to take a least a snapshot of the place, making also a mental note to add this place to the list of restaurants I wanted to got to, one day. Unfortunately, later in the year this branch of S.I.N. was closed, but I will always have this drawing, reminding me of one of the always exciting strolls in the city. I hope you too can feel the excitement I experience every time I find a new favourite place in London and that you'd like to take this drawing to your place to help brighten your day every time you'll look at it.

Italy
"Mary Cinque is an Italian painter, graphic designer and blogger working and living in the Amalfi Coast. Her works – joyful, bright, colourful painting and drawings – are inspired by this place, as well as her heritage, background and travels. Mary spent her childhood between Italy and Ethiopia. Before moving back to the Amalfi Coast in 2019, she has lived in Naples and Milan, where she attended academies of fine art; and Philadelphia, New York and London where she improved her artistic skills and style. Alongside making art, she works as an illustrator and graphic designer, collaborating with selected brands, working on artistic commissions such as illustrations, labels and showroom design. Cinque’s art develops themes connected with what makes us essentially humans: our habitat – the buildings, the streets, the cities – our bodies, what we eat and how we socialise. Art, in Mary’s paintings, becomes a powerful instrument of philosophical investigation which reveals who we really are by questioning our habits, observing those characteristic traits we share as a species, often without realising it. The artist looks at human beings from a different perspective, making interesting and significant what can seem normal or banal to us in our everyday life: the buildings that populate our cities, the streets we walk, people sitting across our table at a café, strangers on the bus. In this nutshell interview by Giulia Corti, Mary Cinque explores some of the most relevant aspects of her art and reflects on how it offers an intriguing and informative perspective about the way we live as human animals. Mary, your art is colourful and vivid, it mixes human and urban subjects by making use of various techniques (oil painting; pastel drawing, markers, “digital” drawing, print-making etc.) and materials (canvasses, magazine pages, an I-pad screen). How do you choose the means with which to develop an artwork and how do the different materials and techniques influence what you want to convey, if they do? Different subjects call for different techniques. Buildings and urbanscape are always acrylic on canvas, while I prefer to depict people using a quicker, immediate approach, like the one that I can get with markers and oil pastels or digital painting. By looking at the main themes of your art, it is possible to notice what seems to be a tension. On one hand, you portrayed the stillness and artificiality of urban landscapes and buildings (e.g.
