Gallery Visit's in Possitano and Amalfi...

Luckily while I was catching the rays and breathing in the fresh sea water air, there were some beautiful art exhibitions along the coast and most of them were free. I really appreciate the fact art to the people in the villages in Amalfi is a beauty and its an art in itself to be able to visually express a piece of information creatively, its not shown or sold with the intentional purpose to gain money from their people it is what merely makes there villages and towns what they are today. Paintings that tell stories from thousands of years ago are never lost a the sea coast of Amalfi, passion, patriotism Art and Food is the cherry on the icing for a description of this stunning village. One of the exhibitions I managed to go to was an oil painting Exhibition by artists of the specific village which was called Possitano and was an half hr boat ride away from where i was staying. The paintings were stunning, again very detailed yet some were simple, but passionate! As an outsider you could see the love and effort that has gone into someone possibly creating a painting of their home, what they know best, or it could have been a vacational visit, either way it holds such a personal opinion and feel for the painting and i feel these particular artists helped me to achieve,  that personal emotion of what Amalfi looks like now and how its barely changed from many years. The style and technique of most painters within the coastline area was just so intriguing and inspiring for me also as an artist. Most paintings were oil or acrylic on canvas, which is rightly expected for a large as well as textural piece. Their styles of using the brush I thought were highly effective, capturing some of the smallest details so precisely,  I was indeed blown away. Finally after visiting and seeing some diverse yet wonderful talents I came to the conclusion of why a small fishing village in Amalfi, managed to grip me emotionally and personally through their Artistic talents, it was a lot more then the simple fact of me also being an artist and having a deep passion for all types of Art,  but more because the people of Amalfi and Italy simply want their visitors from all over to never forget their personal experience and connection with Amalfi, even though just site seeing and the beautiful other things that come with the coastline and Italy in general will never be forgotten amongst,  the people that truly appreciate all the effort it has taken to make their villages like the way they are today,  Art in Amalfi does this exactly, it connected with me in a personal, creative and visual way.
