Rosa Nasti
Rosa Nasti finds the inspiration for creating her dreamlike works by using a primordial technique, and prefers to use boards rather than canvases, on which she can put colours without a mixing process, to create a brighter colour effects using just five basic colours.
Among her creations are also painted prints (mixed technique), and painted PhotoShop images.
Her inspiration is the Mexican painter Frida Kalho.

Surrealism in her paintings, where there is a strong impact, but of nuanced humor, of fantastic elements combined with seemingly incongruous objects; the artist is inspired in the creation of her dreamlike works by the world of theatre, the poets of the Beat Generation and Mexican traditions and folklore.

"La Nave dei Folli" (The Ship of Fools)
"When we observe with the Intent to go beyond physicality, we discover worlds of Power, We see through the mist." Mastery of Intent to the primordial force of the universe, it succeeds in aligning one's possibilities to the fullest through action, in it we find Power and Magic. The Toltec Shamans saw clearly the creative action of Intent; they understood that they could engage this force. To do so they had to seek flawlessness in every action and thus make themselves available to the Touch of Infinity. When one achieves mastery of Intent, the Power merges with that of the Infinite, therefore every action one will perform will be an action of Intent. When one aligns with this power, without succumbing to the impulses of personal importance, one acts guided by the Infinite itself, which far transcends human form. The very action of painting and writing the experience of my Toltec Shamanic Recapitulation was the force I found by aligning myself with the Power of the Infinite, obeying the laws of Intent, the energy that governs every visible and invisible manifestation of the Cosmos.
