The Prize

La via del Tè – 70x70 cm – acrylic and charcoal on canvas.

An unusual work in terms of size and stroke (usually the artist's canvases are larger and realistic connotations of the subject are lost), the work "La via del Tè" complements “Fluttuanti Orli del Velo”.

The two works have very similar characteristics… we see a figure, a geisha, just a hint comes from the strength of the contrast between the white of the veil and the black of the hair. The absence of faces add nothing to the grace of the movement. She highlights some details (the hand, the foot, the buttons of the dress), letting the viewer imagine a story. The golden yellow background that conditions the movement and underlines her being "artist of the floating world", a term coined in 1661 by the writer Ryoi Asai. Nothing else is needed, if not to leave interiorization to the freedom of the gaze and mind. A mind free to experience the poetry that exists in the pursuit of pleasure, wherever it takes us. Fearless and free from confines.

Savor the body, its emotional tensions. Who are we? Where are we? Why are we? Who are we for? Forced to be with ourselves, we look in the mirror and see a faded image of ourselves (our Nemesis). Knowing how to look at oneself while accepting all the imperfections that define us and make us real. The unbearable weight of being imperfect. Accepting oneself. Living.

Eleonora Pozzi.

After graduating in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 2006, she opened a studio in Seregno, where she combined the work of designer and artist with her work as an architect. She took part in the Salone Satellite 2007, 2008 and 2009 at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, having works published in some of the most important newspapers in the sector. Then came a series of collaborations with furniture companies. She is currently the art director of two companies that deal with contract and retail projects in Italy and abroad. She has taught design and planning at the Politecnico di Milano. Her activity extends to the field of painting, where she had been well received in Italy and abroad.

The Cause

Ai.Bi. Amici dei Bambini was set up in 1986 by a group of adoptive and foster families. The association's mission is to guarantee that every child has right to be a child and to grow up in a family and today has more than 80 members and 156 volunteers operating in Italy with its national headquarters in San Giuliano Milanese and 25 regional offices, as well as information points in every region and a network of “Pan di Zucchero” Family Service Centers around the world with 33 operating offices in Eastern Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Here are some of the numbers from Ai.Bi.'s 30 years of work in Italy and around the world: 60000 children supported at a distance; 3997 abandoned children rehired with an adoptive family; 600 families supported by the Pan Di Zucchero Family Service Centers in Italy; 201 children and teenagers welcomed into foster care family homes; 134 teenagers, 153 children and 104 mothers welcomed into mother-child communities and semi and high autonomy accommodation; 44 foster families accompanied over the course of their family reception project.

In this COVID 19 health emergency, Ai.Bi. is on the side of already fragile children and families who have found themselves facing isolation: minors without any family support have been welcomed alone or together with their mothers to our host communities in Italy and children abandoned in African and South American institutions, together with family members who have survived the war in the north of Syria, have been helped.

Take part in the "Il Bello che Fa Bene" ("Nice things to do good") Charity Auction and support the "ContinuiamodaiBambini" project so that children, adolescents and families are not left alone at this time of need!
