III (2011) Painting by Alba Spinelli

Alba was born in Palermo.
Since she was little, she has had a particular propensity to be withdrawn, a soft soul needs protection and this leads her not to express herself, leaving the channels of her communication closed but opening up the access to her spirit, thanks to which she absorbs the suffering that surrounds her.
Growth brings with it knowledge of the people of the world and the faces they build around it. Masks that Alba also makes, who in the end decides to protect herself behind one of them, the mask of self-control... of perfection.
The contradiction marks these years, giving rise to the dichotomy between what she would like and what the world is. She discovers that she is iron-clad in responding to the principles that regulate the true essence of human relationships.
But her soul, ever stronger, pushes her to search for connections between sea, land, light and water, magnetizing her towards the depths. The path he pursues is dictated by feeling, Alba's soul appears emotional, absorbent, taciturn, continually shaken by storms... in a word, it is aquatic. It is salt water, immense cobalt blue expanses like the sea, and it is the salt of "life" that prevents this water from freezing, from Alba from freezing.
Calm and angular on the outside, sensitive and vulnerable on the inside , absorbs the "heat of the sun" and disperses it in its depths, then responding with warmth to the freezing winter that now seems to envelop the hearts of many human beings.
The need to communicate is strong, translating what its eyes see and his soul hears. So in small steps, Alba finds the way to express herself.
2000 is the crucial year, she needs to manifest the presences and forms of her soul, lines that bend from straight, softening through love, colors that blend together to create new seas, ultimately Alba paints what she feels.
2003 leaves an indelible mark on her, which creates implosion and silence. A tide hits and stops the creative and expressive process and forcefully throws away colours, canvases and brushes. The turmoil fades over the years and the inner strength takes over in 2007, she weakly regains a balance that allows her to find what she had lost within herself and after a few years, it finally arrives, in 2009, to dawn on her canvases.
Inside the name you can breathe the symbolism of the continuous solar rebirth in every one of his canvases and every time he decides to get back into the game. Without stereotypes and therefore without shields in the face of other people's criticism. Alba lets herself be guided only by her soul which, uninterruptedly, asks her to re-teach to the world, what only a few are now able to do, transmit and receive "emotions". Emotions guide her and without any artistic or aesthetic pretense, she manages to "communicate".

His works are snapshots of the soul that envelop the user's eye with nuances until they capture him completely and by osmosis communicate the moments of life that the artist goes through.
