"Something Precious"

The result of an unusual art project, the second event, a collaboration between jewelry Elvio Seta and the painter Alfonso Camplone, offering "something precious".
The windows of the jewelry Elvio Seta will host a dozen "small jobs" by Alfonso Camplone.
Silk is one of the family history of an activity carried on with great passion that begins in the 50s, located in the lively center of Pescara is now one of the most important and prestigious jewelers in Pescara.
Paintings and Jewelry "united" in a "dialogue" that combines different art forms (painting and jewelry) in a single location where: it is true that art educates the beautiful is also true.
So no exaltation of beauty for its own sake but where the charm and beauty of the jewels, which always provides a starting point to search for a function or inner meaning of the society in history and across cultures, combined with a pictorial language suggests that " something "to which civilization seems not to want to give up: a precious thing.
And 'the preciousness that unites them and transcends them up to the soul to shine ...
Not only precious understood as a mere material value, but considered as a "product" especially as to tell him several peculiarities.
It becomes interesting to illustrate the "dialogue" between jewelry and painting and value dialectic can buy.
The Jewel and the painting becomes, by extension, also a tool for the affirmation of cultural values ​​and social choices, a vehicle of ideas and cultures that create social image of a civilization that has as its true value par excellence, in its historical reality.
Art painting approached goldsmith art, both filled with a strong symbolic value, like the ability to manipulate materials that change shape and form through the processes used by these "creators" who, in a sense, are regarded as being endowed with abilities magic for "alchemical knowledge" that allow you to create objects of metal or jewelry with semiprecious stones and shapes and colors ... and signs such as "talk" to the deepest part of the Human ... like magicians.
It is this tendency "mystique" that loads of courtly and noble values ​​such "precious things" so as to leave them high and ennobling values.
Emanations of the culture that they become social expression, the version of the sublime symbol of art and philosophy and culture of the people that you bastion of knowledge and civilization.
When the jewel as "trinket" or "tinsel" and the painting as a "doodle" or "split" becomes as important as "sacred" it is called a "valuable thing" and then it automatically becomes "magical" and full of culture, reinvent themselves to impress, a vehicle to convey emotions suggestive.
The assembly of the vibrant creations of lights, colors and evocative arrangements that, in a newfound inner depth, giving a great sense of grace.
It 'a "show" that combines the duality of expression where noted ... free a sea of ​​emotions. Join the jewel of a painting is "communion" which further helps to understand the Ars as a universal language, where the charm and the love of riches and the "precious man" and go beyond the "seduction" that the jewel in the cultural moment work, but connected and joined together to painting in search of what really is "precious" and accounts for the Man himself.
