This Little Light Of Mine 2021

Curator: Oh, this is "This Little Light Of Mine" by Camilla d'Errico from 2021, it is made using acrylic paint! Editor: Wow, that's such a lovely piece! I’m really drawn to how ethereal and fiery it feels at the same time. The figure almost looks like she’s conjuring fire itself. What do you see in it? Curator: I'm taken by the sense of personal power, wouldn’t you agree? This almost evokes a silent narrative about owning one’s inner strength. A whimsical rendering, mind you, like a fever dream or a cherished memory of a story read in childhood. Editor: A story read in childhood... That definitely makes sense to me. The style has that fantasy feel to it. Curator: Precisely! Look how d'Errico uses these vivid colours. The phoenix on her head, she seems connected to it, or is it an extension of herself, born from the flame in her very hands? I think we, as viewers, need to decide on the role we each play in cherishing our potential and being empowered in our world. Does that connect with you at all? Editor: It really does! I initially saw a fiery aesthetic, but your read gives it so much depth! It is almost an ethereal narrative with hidden depths of inner resilience. It's amazing how art can hold so much meaning! Curator: It truly is! We came seeking flames, and discovered so much more of that light inside ourselves, no? Now isn't that just divine?
