MARIA LUISA
VERGARA

I have always had two souls: one rational and scientific, the other creative and artistic. I tried to feed them both, graduating in law and practicing as a lawyer on the one hand, on the other by graduating in theatrical techniques and earning a master's degree in creative writing. The common thread and the bridge between my two souls was philosophy, the discipline in which I graduated. Philosophy is for me the existential foundation of all my actions in whatever field I decide to act. The search for answers to the main questions of existence move and shake me. Finally, the reality that I experienced led me to choose to share my philosophical / artistic research with others. Encouraged by my friend Francesco Martani, a well-known painter and sculptor of the twentieth century from Bologna, I chose to devote myself completely to painting. I attended, in Bologna, a city that saw me born and grow artistically, masters and art schools, in particular the school of Davide Peretti Poggi, son of the well-known Bolognese painter Wolfango and, to this day, I continue to do so. My attempt is to make Plato's world of Ideas and other levels of reality dialogue and interact with the viewer. My goals are, therefore, to continue my research, to send it back into images that can be used by all through an unconscious and profound communication. Looking for the invisible in the visible, I start from myself and from wha I know best, that is, from my family and daily life. I have exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
