RIGHT BRAIN
CAROLINE BERGONZI’S CREATIVE ODYSSEY
“And the more pervasive the outside world is, the more crucial it is to pursue our inner explorations, to constantly raise our awareness, sharpen our critical thinking, and keep a clear sense of authenticity.” — C. Bergonzi.
BOOK INTRO
"In this book, my focus is fine art, not an attempt to define what art is but rather to become a window to the core of my imagination, the force guiding everything I create, a map, as it were, to my dreamscape. Beyond displaying paintings and sculptures, I invite you to discover my journey as an artist, which I hope will inspire you to trust and dare life, even when reason and external voices warn you to quit or to conform. The story, if any, is ordinary. What is extraordinary, however, is the context, these distillations of moments of feeling alive, what Joseph Campbell named “the bliss.” From detail to detail, from idea to idea, from artwork to artwork, I open my secret world and take you on the roller coaster of my quest, a simply human exploration…"
- C. Bergonzi. NYC, 2012.
