Vita / Lebenslauf:
Zen Art offers an antidote to daily stress in its emphasis on simplicity, purity and naturalness. The creativity and the fresh interpretation of this minimalist art is introduced to us by Alicia Falcone, an artist who presents a blend of expertise in modern interior design with the principles of Feng Shui while adding the beauty of Chinese calligraphy throughout her canvas.
The artist tells us that living and traveling through Asia opened up her mind and allowed her to understand a new way of life, where art and tradition combine to create beauty and harmony. Alicia Falcone, born in Argentina, was a practicing attorney before relocating to Singapore and changing her profession to that of artist and Oriental Interior Decorator.
Zen is a tradition of Buddhist teachings and practices that originated in India, grown in China and was later imported by Japanese monks to their country. Over the centuries, this philosophy created an astonishing variety of art forms through meditation, including flower arrangement, gardens, calligraphy and painting, among others. Zen finds that our surroundings contribute to our peace of mind. "My artwork attempts to transport the viewer to a balanced and calm reality, a place with no planning or struggles, a peaceful retreat to meditate and recover energy", says the artist.
During her long stay in the Orient, Alicia Falcone traveled throughout Asia, visiting small villages and joining a humanitarian mission to Nepal. In her journeys she came in touch with mindful people and a culture that embodies a concentration in the moment with a stripping away of inessentials.
Painting was a natural channel for Alicia Falcone to express this new spiritual flash of insight. Breaking rules and traditions, each piece of her art is achieved through the use of acrylic painting and mixed materials creating a colorful background. Within the artwork, Chinese calligraphy offers stillness while the minimal use of detail gives the fluidity of the world endlessly changing.
The artist has a unique interpretation of Oriental art through her Western eyes in a powerful fusion where East meets West. Zen art aims to teach and to inspire, it should be contemplated rather than merely viewed, full of meaning and spirituality.
