CHERCHEZ LA FEMME! THE ARTISTIC FEMME AT FLORENCE BIENNALE

Photo: An artist and her art at the Biennale.
Who said art has to be austere? Art could be fun too. Art is a nourishing experience if shared with others. And this is what an artist gets at the Florence Biennale. Delight, learning, fun, exchange of ideas, exposure, recognition, challenge, talent development, friendship and even glamour are part of the international art competition and exhibition of the magnificent Florence Biennale. Oui Monsieur, art is a succulent fun, when femmes fatales artists, femmes existentialist artists, femmes provocatively talented artists, the Nafertiti and Cleopatra type artists, and super accomplished artists add their talent, their artistic aroma and sinfully captivating scents to the linens and canvases hung on the walls of the historical Fortezza da Basso hosting the prestigious art event of the Biennale.

Rarely
we do see women artists from around the globe taking part in a huge
collective art exhibition and sweet-bitter competition as our eyes witnessed
this unusual women artists gathering phenomenon in Florence: A real human
mosaic of accomplished women artists and promising emerging talents, a
festival of a universal art in all its forms, dimensions, planes, concepts
and visions. An avalanche of creative women artists adding glamour, un flair
chic and finesse to the world of art. Even women artists from Saudi Arabia
and "religiously somber" countries participated in the competition of the
Biennale!
