Rose Élise Cialdella

We have a literal anatomy, bone - teeth - flesh, but we also have an anatomy qualified as poetic. It is the latter, invisible, that appeals to me and that I explore.

As the daughter of Italian immigrants from the North, born in Quebec, my poetic body reveals itself as fragments of power that push me to pass on what my ancestors do with me, with me. I see my art as a deconstruction, then a reconstruction of these fragments that I want to consolidate into a whole whose meaning I must preserve.

My production expresses my inner heritage with vigor, going between my head and my heart, the motherhood of my mother and mine, my mother tongue and the language of my native country, giving great meaning to the symbolism.

I favor acrylic, which calls for bold colors that apply, overlap, fight until they fall back and let themselves be surrounded again and again by this beige, often present in my works, acting as a consolidating warmth.
