A gust of icy wind catches the protagonist unprepared as he struggles through piles of snow alone. The cold takes the form of a hand that holds them in a tight grip. The character pushes through, covering his face, blinded by the wind. An orange light colors the snowy landscape in warm shades: it is winter in the north, in the Faroe Islands, where absolute darkness only allows for dim light for a few hours a day. The sun is never high in the sky, so when light comes it is in the form of permanent twilight. This image was born out of an experience of deep loneliness and overwhelm. But hard times, like winter, do not last forever, and in every dark winter a glimmer of light can illuminate the nuances and beauty around us.

Barbara Scalvini
Hi, I’m Barbara! I work with simple, traditional media, such as colored pencils and paper, to create surreal, intimate depictions of metaphorical worlds. Drawing on folklore, nature and symbolism, I try to give shape to my (semi-)conscious emotions, and make sense of them. I often feel like an alien who dropped by chance on planet earth, and my artworks reflect that perspective. Mostly, I do not really understand the real world, so I create my own.
