In the valley of Aspropotamos, in a traditional country house of great beauty, |
|
Don't miss to meet Machis and Maria |
|
a simple and warm welcome awaits you, |
in the beautiful veranda at the entrance of the house they have built by themselves and have made it become a personal Art gallery, where they expose their creations |
|
|
|
||
|
a cup of coffee and a pause, |
|
Works drawn from indeed original materials |
|
poor pieces of wood returned from the sea weaves |
|
inert, lived, marked by time, |
|
|
|
|
only apparently dead, ended and useless |
|
|
they find again in reality, through the eyes of the Artist who searches their soul, |
||
|
|
dignity and thickness, new volumes, warmth of faces and sensuality of bodies |
|
|
of shipwrecked persons brought
back to life |
|
|
|
with thousands lived histories and thousands to tell. |
||
|
|
But Machis and Maria do more, they play, they inquire, they experiment |
|
|
Destructurating and reinterpretating the shapes |
||
|
trying to pick that intimate essence that is already in the material |
|
|
|
|
|
as a permanent mark in the same nature of things |
|
wood,
stone
or
sponge |
|
until the point, and also well beyond, to renew themselves as newly "Geppetti Masters” |
|
|
|
|
|
it was in the wood, it was in the stone and in the marine sponge |
|
since
it was
there |
|
there was that wooden puppet, always had been |
|
|
|
|
|
and also that boat slipped out from the dream of a child |
|
and there was also that face |
|
.............perhaps it was only needing to be seen.
