Zebra 2018 Rug - Yellow
140x200 cm
Loretta De Lorenzi
I work as a painter and mosaicist in Venice. I am interested in every possible expression of art, from calligraphy to illustrations for children, from origami to prints on fabric. I also create clothes, hats, bags, knitting and embroidery. I find inspiration in the natural and in the animal worlds which allow me to enjoy using different colors, materials and supports.
Zebra 2018
I've always thought that the animal that I like most is the zebra, because it is very elegant and indomitable. For this work I imagined a detail of a herd of zebras galloping in their natural environment, silhouetted against the yellow sunset sky. The movement of their moving bodies creates a magical effect of lines, the touch of blue on the muzzle gives a feeling of "freshness" and the eye, which looks sideways, arouses calm in the observer.
The colors in the rug will be perceived differently depending on the angle you view it from.
