This is an artistic representation of the song ‘Day-o’ a Jamaican folk song also referred to as The Banana Boat Song. Having learnt it as a kid in school, it’s always fascinated me……..the language, choice of words, its vibrancy and the ‘happyness’ it conveys…I’ve tried to capture the same in this artistic creation. It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up (Tally me banana) so that they can go home. The Doors here are representative of home and the bananas depict the ‘happyness’ of seeing home!

Two Flamingoes wade along the Caribbean Shores looking flamboyant in their flame-coloured plumage. Flamingo derives from the Spanish and Latin word "flamenco" meaning fire, referring to the bright colour of the birds' feathers.

Dreamy, creamy, and delicious. The longed for coolness of an exquisite taste sensation on a hot summers day. Pistachio greens, lemony yellows and raspberry pinks sit alongside mouth watering lilacs and juicy apricots against a chalky pastel background of slightly distressed stripes. The circles melt off the edges of the canvas in a way that is reminiscent of soft-serve ice cream.

This work is fitted with D rings and wire for immediate hanging. The pattern continues around all sides so there is no need to frame. On the back you will find my signature, initials, title and year. It is registered on the NRAA (National Registry for Australian artists). The work comes with details of the registration and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Good mood is usually considered a state without an identified cause; people cannot pinpoint exactly why they are in a good mood. People seem to experience a positive mood when they have a clean slate, have had a good night sleep, and feel no sense of stress in their life.

This  artwork was created from  the feeling' s artist about the joy in the soul of human, when they understand that: to be live, to be love and love this world is the true happiness of them.

Achezegag, in this work, plays on the contrast of the clean and clear line of the origami plane with the movement of the character who wins.
The character here seems weakened and light, unlike the plane which seems more stable and solid.
Escape gives an allegorical dimension of the departure, of the journey. The artist seeks here to symbolize lightness, joy but also fragility.

My paintings are a work in progress that follows my daily life situation.
Working upon the daily hurdles that I as mother, wife and artist am going through. 
There are lot of things to take care of and they suck out my creative energy. 
It is an on going fight and you only manage if you are stubborn and really want 
to stay in front of your canvas. 

I love and need my frustrations, because they continually give me something to work on. 
In this picture I have collected happenings and memories.
They are all jointed in no particular order and united through colours.

In this series I have changed the black oilbar that I usually use with a red one. 
The shift has given a light and summery vibe that contrasts very much to my 
other moodwise often "heavy" paintings.

Wednesday last week.
I was really confused Wednesday.
The Covid19 has thrown me back to the period when my children was small. 
I got this feeling about being a ball again, going up and down from one wall 
to another totally depended on my children’s well being and their needs. 
The lockdown here in Italy where I am has had a very strong impact on all of us. 
During the lockdown I had a positive period work wise as restrictions often improve your creativity.
Slightly getting started one begin to understand what really happened to you and everybody else.
I’m left with a lot of confusion in my head. 
I’ll use the confusion and the “out of control” feeling to: work freely, less controlled 
and without thinking to much.

Body

My painting are all about time and time in paintings is movement stilled.The conversation I hope to create in my work is a certain truth of life and on a deeper level ,a well thought out philosophy.

Portrait

Individuals mey interpret my paintings in vastly different ways and each view will be equally logical, thought provoking and intriguing.

All that matters at the end of the day are our relationships

My work delights the viewer with its gentle satire , vibrant and dynamic colours and the extraordinary plethora of intricately worked details, patterns and shapes.

A wonderful way to destress .It is possible.
