From the chessboard of the Angel

was exhibited in 2010 at Inner Space, Cambridge UK.

The small collection of 18 pieces made from paper, hand woven fabrics, semi precious stones, shells, wood, glass inscription, gold-print and other materials is framed in black and white. Romina developed this series slowly during a period of 3 years. 

 

The journey of  the work on the series began in Lugano, Switzerland, and then moved to Zürich to be finished.  After some initial difficulties, thanks to the special airport assistance of a Sicilian gentlemen, it eventually flew to England disguised as "fragile diving gear". It has been displayed at King's Parade - the coincidence of this name was just fabulous! - in Cambridge. It further travelled to attend the Peace Festival in Skillington UK and then had a stop-over  in a majestic noble palace in the countryside of Oxford where it gently and patiently rested in its boxes for 6 months. It moved back to Zürich via London and eventually found it's actual location, back in its original hometown Lugano...

 

Some notes about the background of this artwork:

The game of chess has a royal origin and holds the ancient spiritual symbolic meaning of re-conquering the kingdom of the self. It also can be defined as self sovereignty i.e.

" be the master of your own mind".

Each piece of artwork represents a field or square of the chessboard and is designed as an unique piece. The chessboard in itself is a symbolic representation of the field of action/karma/field of life where we, as human beingsincessantly perform our actions that in turn will design our beautiful destiny depending on the pure-hearted intention.

Discernment and decision making are divine gifts from God and when used in a clear and clean way they have the power to master the dark forces, the shadows, the weaknesses, the sorrows and the fears that imprison the heart of the soul. When there is mastery, silent peace and internal natural joy will be experienced again independently of what is going on outside.

The Angel is  the pure consciousness  of self who has learnt the wisdom to perform righteous actions/karma in order to create his/her bright destiny. The Angel is disguised as a human being who applies the wisdom of

soul consciousness to play / to act on the world stage = the chessboard....
