During the 19th Contemporary Day, artist Bizia Cesarano offers a snapshot of her work, opening the doors of her atelier.

"I find myself at a point in my personal journey where, after a long period when I thought I knew my demons well, I realised I had never really processed so many of the pains that inhabit inside me. And it is no coincidence that I have reworked drawings that I started two years ago.
It is a bit like pretending you can understand the meaning of a book by just reading its summary.
So I moved on, convinced that being aware of the mental patterns that guided my growth and my choices was enough to let me get rid of them.
I did not complete those sketches and started thinking again that life was a straight line marked by time. I told myself the fairy tale that to succeed I had to keep going, keep going straight, forgetting the real lessons I learned in cathartic moments. Life is not time. Life is space. And time is about inhabiting the spaces inside and outside of us.
So, after two full years in perpetual motion, I am trying to stop in the space that more than any other has seen me grow, evolve, bind myself to certain convictions and then abandon them and feel a sense of emptiness".

The artist's work is profoundly linked to the space he inhabits, evolving and merging with it.
