The Prize

Win the beautiful artwork by the Italian artist Alberto Lanzaretti!

The work, of 2013, was created using enamel on wood. Its dimensions are 55 x44 cm and is in perfect conditions.

Born in Thiene, where he still lives and works, Alberto Lanzaretti grew up in contact with contemporary art and has assimilated the artistic consciousness through observation of forms and spaces, developing a balanced color control and its expression. His works can be seen but, thanks to the particular technique used, also touched.

In his latest creations he uses minerals to create works that honour the nature, starting from the stone which is the main protagonist, capturing the light and the color around it. Here in particular, the study of the structure of the work is directly linked to the central element: the stone, i.e OPALINA, influence the entire artwork.

The artist is actively involved in many solo and group exhibitions in Italy, among which we must include those held at art galleries in Rome, Turin and Venice, but also Padua, Rovereto, Taormina, Thiene. In addition, thanks to his artistic talent he has received several awards.

The Cause

Twins International is a Milan-based charity that has operated in Kenya since 2007 developing education and food security programs. Alice For Children is a program meant for the protection of the most vulnerable children in Nairobi and at the feet of Mount Kilimanjaro. We sponsor full education plans for over 2000 children in the slums of Korogocho, Kariobangi and Dandora.

Furthermore, we provide every beneficiary of our projects with adequate health care. In the most critical cases, we offer them a comfortable place in one of our children's homes in the outskirts of Nairobi. Particular attention is given to the fight against HIV/AIDS by providing medical care to every recipient of the projects. Moreover, women are being empowered to claim their right to equality, which is often denied in developing countries. One of the main goals of Alice for Children is giving the children in Nairobi a better future achievable with their own hands. In our vision every child has the right to good health, education, being nurtured and loved within their community in an as comfortable an environment as possible.
