Good evening to everyone
then at the center of my life
artistic you have seen it, that is, the wall
but what’s more a wall than
a canvas a sheet of paper once
painting in Naples in an alley that is
they approach the lady tells me beautiful but
why do not you do it on canvas again
I was walking in Madrid
I see wall that I like because of the
pay the time that has passed so to
full day decided to get inside
I say to the lord and owner I can
paint his wall looks at me tells me
graffiti you look at it in my works e
she likes them and so she asks me but you want
I do not get paid because the
I like the wall so he gave me the idea
for a design that is not in my head
look what he lets you do and then he says then
you would do it also inside but no
ok so what’s more a wall
respect but canvas
a story this is my story
my name is alice pasquini but many
They know me simply as Alice I have
decided to sign with my real name
in a world that of graffiti
predominantly male is done
especially alias like paint tags
with my real name it was a way for
bring even a more feminine vision
on the walls and where often the woman is
arrives represented in a certain way
like a comic strip heroine or a bomb
sexy for me to paint on the wall wanted
go also say go beyond the limits
of the earth or an academic education
in art and this is precisely why
I went to registered probably
as a child I thought that being an artist
it was a job like any other in fact
in my world there was the smurf
nurse the funny cop the cook
and also the painter as well as in the world
of the first bill for example
so when I came to resurrect
stick now in the 90s and let’s say the
hip hop culture came overbearingly
in Italy in the morning
I was drawing the model in the afternoon
I was learning more at the academy of belle
arts my professor in the course of
painting enter the classroom saying the art
it’s dead driver let it go
I plan to finish all without work
so in the spirit but this thing
let’s say I started for
reaction out in the streets it
immediate has been to take a mine
drawing and attach it to the wall but then there
they were abandoned fridges
a disused telephone booths a kiosk
of beer and possible on the way
the road in many places for example a
melilla in the female prison
in the Spanish enclave in morocco where I have
painted a woman on a tree
look at the future look at the during
the hour of air which was the time when
I had to make that mural and where
they told me that what was missing
more was nature is the horizon
I also worked with the boys
immigrants here in Italy in old rome
then I no one spoke to the same
tongue
we have designed a wall thinking of
things that fly a flying city
ideal through the drawings they have me
told about their experiences
traumas of war and was for some the
first time just that they painted
certainly the first wall of theirs
life or even told the stories of the
Italian emigrants abroad who
they made these long journeys
crowded in boats for days and
days before to get to the earth
promise
here it is for me
this is the wall in more than one penalty
a story but also a symbolic way for
go beyond certain things
when I finished the academy of belle
Arts
I also found a well-paid job
But I was not happy, I knew I did not
he could be an artist 50 percent like that
I gave myself a year and said
let’s see what happens
I went first to Madrid then to Paris
I had a lot of free time really
everywhere I traveled all over the world
it was also a way for me
tell the stories all those stories
that are born in the first place on mine
notebooks notebooks that I always carry with
me as a travel diary one
collection of emotions and feelings but
also of subjects and places that then
they will find a place on a small corner of
road or on a huge wall when I have
painted in the street and so I had
a lot of free time have been
often people tell me to give me some
work to propose me I know tattoos and
drawn grandchildren dogs but also women
these things, however, have always been the same
people to bear all of these
I travel from one place to another I think
leave a story on the wall is the thing
more important but also when one goes
I draw the number at the bottom of it
they live
but I leave those who live in front of me
every day he will see it once
I was in New York I was painting a wall
which is actually three in three
different cities and brought the history of the
rock and beach where there had been hard
gago sandy up to new york
and while he was painting second wall in new
jersey
I was playing with the name point text
of the city new jersey composing one
which was written the dreams are the beginning of
a new journey then news
that new jersey while he was painting
a lady was really angry is
He came towards me I said no
he told me you would wind this
wall and so the next day I do not
I was waiting for what I came to say
with tears in his eyes he approaches
tami said excuse me for the planes e
I’m going through a very hard moment
of my life to my son of the problems
of autism but coming to work
this morning I thought that
written was a message to me has me
said see that I am indicating to
my son is a areoplanino in the air and he says
see the future basket so at the bottom of the wall
and who lives it from who then sees it but
the same time exactly when I was a new
york
I receive for example an email from a
very small village of molise where i
they ask if she was interested in the sea a
paint there at civitacampomarano la
population almost an uninhabited country
now there are very few people for it
there are four older people and children
children of immigrants
what the author of the mails does not
he knew it was not a country for me
but rather the country where he was born
my grandfather so I decided back time
from America to go and paint there
on those buildings and on those doors now
consumed by time and tell life
of the country that no longer exists
clearly all the inhabitants me
they said but because they do not paint the wall
white plastered not even
however, I did the end
the interesting thing they have
started going there tourists came out a
service of the newspaper of the 8 some
newspaper article and they are back i
tourists also foreigners to civita as well
they could not believe it
and then the year after I decided to
get back together with some friends and do
a project is a specific project for me
today they call it street art
I prefer contextual art I want
to say that it is born for a place and not for a
another born for that wall because a
that story that color the colors
around
and it can not be the same thing from
sydney to fly for me this experience
in which I managed to give life back to the
country for a week also reporting
children who were gone
it was a life experience that makes me
think that precisely in addition to the wall
however, you can make connections and
often the wall at the bottom is a symbol
very strong therefore in the meantime while
I was looking for work on the streets of
paris and paint it happened that the
street art
it started to be a great success and
so they went to festivals and curators
art exhibitions and museums who would be
waited when I was small if I was
they said that one day to do
graffiti would have been my job me
I would have laughed though in the meantime
I was interested in expressing a part
more feminine precisely in this
context because there was not one
representation of the woman as a woman
true that as with its particular
character a personality when everything
it seemed to go very well the same
year in which I went out as an artist I am
important venivo encyclopedia
interviewed by one of the main ones
American newspapers also came to me
a complaint for soiling and I have to
to say that in short it was a paradox
a bit hard to accept but one more
Once I have been the people who have me
written and they were close too
unknown from the beginning I have to say everything
this path no when for me in
bottom was just a game always are
you are the people who support me and
push me to keep going and fun
to think that the year which I have
done the fifth grade exam
my theme was about the fall of the wall of
Berlin
I must say that since then the walls
unfortunately, as we said, I’m alone
increased
here then again what
it means because a wall for me
painting on a wall means in
some way even crossed
no
