Woman, Art & Sakti

SHAKTI is the Sanscrit word for the active feminine principle and is within each of us. Artists are especially suffused with this energy/power, and I bring this up because I have been blessed to have found an Italian teacher, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, who is tutoring me in Conversational Italian in preparation for my trip to Italy in August. She is an artist. There will be an exhibit of her work at an East Village restaurant, Matilda’s, 647 East 11 St., which opens on Thursday, July 15th, and I will be there with several of my Yoga students. Exhibit continues through September 30th, with a 20% discount on meals with invite on www.CoralinaContemporaryArt.com.

“Seduced, we enter Coralina’s world filled with drama, mysticism and rebirth. As poetry takes shape on canvas, the audience find themselves witnessing an outcry, a call to arms to be fearless and believe.” American Oggi

*******************************

Inherent in each person is the power to create. That power, in Sanscrit, is termed Sakti. Sakti is usually understood to be divine inspiration, or sometimes referred to as one's Muse. It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you a woman whose art is informed by this universal power, and manifests in her depictions of nature's undulations.

Provy Munafo'

Born in Boxhill (Melbourne) Australia, Ms Munafo' lives and has a studio in the commune of Villa Franca T., Messina, Sicily, Italy. She has a diploma in Applied Arts from the Institute of Arts of Messina, and has a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts of Reggio Calabria.

Ms. Munafo' is a teacher, and for many years is actively pursuing an artist's career, distinguishing herself in regional and national exhibits and competitions. She has had one-woman shows and group exhibitions in several Italian cities.
