Zebra - 2018 by Loretta De Lorenzi

Italy

Italy

I've always thought that the animal that I like most is the zebra, because it is very elegant and indomitable. For this work I imagined a detail of a herd of zebras galloping in their natural environment, silhouetted against the yellow sunset sky. The movement of their moving bodies creates a magical effect of lines, the touch of blue on the muzzle gives a feeling of "freshness" and the eye, which looks sideways, arouses calm in the observer.
Ho sempre pensato che l'animale che più mi piace sia la zebra, perché molto elegante e indomito. Per questo lavoro ho immaginato un particolare di una mandria di zebre al galoppo nel loro ambiente naturale, stagliate contro il cielo giallo del tramonto. Il movimento dei corpi in corsa crea un magico effetto di linee, il tocco di blu sul muso dà una sensazione di "fresco" e l'occhio, che guarda di lato, suscita calma in chi lo osserva.

About Loretta De Lorenzi

I work as a painter and mosaicist in Venice. I am interested in every possible expression of art, from calligraphy to illustrations for children, from origami to prints on fabric. I also create clothes, hats, bags, knitting and embroidery. I find inspiration in the natural and in the animal worlds which allow me to enjoy using different colors, materials and supports.

Confeziono anche vestiti, cappelli, borse, lavori a maglia e ricami. Trovo ispirazione nella natura e nel mondo animale che mi consentono di divertirmi ad utilizzare colori, materiali e supporti diversi.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
