Artwork description / Biography


Beatrice Eleonore Bobst is born in Switzerland but grew up in Italy where she began her career as an art restorer.
Her love for nature and attention to the flora, accompanied by the belief that “plus la couleur s’harmonise plus le dessin se precise”(Cezanne), lead to her first exhibition “Jardin Virtuel” in 2013.
In May 2014 she organized her second exhibition ”The Color Takes Shape” where various techniques are used to interpret a floral element.
During the following years her efforts were mostly focused on collective exhibitions such as “Expo 2016 Exhibition” for the Wikiarte Gallery in Bologna, ”Egos XI Edition Contemporary Art” in Rome (2016), and art fairs, being ArteVicenza with Studio Elle (2017) and ArtePadova (2017).
She’s participated to international displays in Scandinavia (ScandinaviArt 2015), in Barcelona at “Crisolart Galleries” (2016) and in Paris at the “Maison d’Italie” (2016).
She’s been selected amongst the finalists of the Malalmegi Lab Art Prize in 2015 and 2020.

L’opera Green Mother nasce dall’elaborazione del concetto di origine, attraverso la pittura ed il riferimento alla tradizione di Giorgione.
L’archetipo di Madre Natura esprime al contempo il movimento ciclico dell’esistenza e l’immobilità figurativa delle radici. I concetti di trasformazione e di solidità non sono in contrasto ma anzi trovano compimento nel ruolo della Madre, fonte originaria di principi vitali e simbolo di legami primordiali. La connessione con le proprie origini permette la maturazione dei processi di definizione identitaria, parallelamente ai rapporti con la collettività.

“Green Mother” elaborates the theme of origins through painting and a direct reference to Giorgione’s figurative tradition.
The Mother Nature archetype conveys both the movement of a life cycle and the figurative stillness of roots. There is no contrast between the notions of transformation and stability which in fact achieve their fulfillment in the Mother’s role: she is both the source of nourishment and the symbol of primordial bonds. A deep connection with our origins guarantees the correct development of a personal identity amongst the collectivity.
