Sails that reveal
(emotions in Lorella Fabro¹s paintings)Slight traces with colour an enchanting drawing, that slowly becomes painting. This occurs in an intimate and secret place, that in a case like this, is exclusively Lorella Fabro¹s hearthŠ from darkness to light and newly from light to darkness, a perpetuos jouney, even with the absence of windŠ The masterpiece,not anymore as the unique focus of the eyes, but a point, prefixed by a sensual will with the aim to find each one¹s own destinyŠ. the colour certainly exists; kept as harmonious forms, diluted in its own strong and intense music; but the path of the emotions remains bounded to wonderful golden reflections that celebrate the sun in all its beauty and powerŠ And it is the sun to condition everything; to simbolize life and splendour as clear powers even if secretely seized inside unlikely and unthinkable horizonsŠ like the sea emotional dock, checked and revised, read and re-read plenty of times up to the most magical and personal of interpretations, it can suddenly appear like a flowering lawn of sailsŠ Lorella Fabro¹s paintings are pure charms of a journey followed primarly within the soul and secondly with the eyesŠ What will be the probable hypotetic finishing point? But will there really be in this curious quest-colour a finishing point, a safe harbour where to linger?²

³if it¹s true, like Plato says, that human psyche is subject to precipitate in the Dionysiac abiss or elevate towards the supreme spheres of the mind, then also the everyday dimension of the Spirit moves alternatively, like day and night, between two opposite poles of experience and knowledge of oneself.
Prone to oscillate perpetually between the desire for beauty that strays in eros and pathos and the desire for truth that unfolds in the search of images and symbols to contrast with the unsustainable inertia of the existence, also Fabro¹s spirit-opera moves without rest along the line thread that separates, like inthe marine orizon, the sky from the waterŠ²
From ³Museo Hermetico² by Pietro Negri phylosopher of perception.
Lorella Fabro¹s works,of important and constant intensity, reflect an intelletualistic analysis of the image and can be explained only by searching the trail of a Romantic ideality, which is the element that characterizes the light animosity of her depiction, and that motives the spectacularity of a vivid and intimate stylistic choice.
It is so fundamental the discovery, painting after painting, of the difficult route undertook by this sensitive painter, who appears unconcerned about the contemporary solicitations of a restless avantgarde and far too sure of Art¹s death, to which she contrasts the ability to combine a scenographical lyricism of great formal colouristic effectiveness.
