Casa delle Nuvole2 In questi giorni si apre a Sarmede la 27  edizione della mostra internazionale di illustrazione per l’infanzia  Le Immagini della Fantasia, e anche quest’anno ci sarà una delle mie illustrazioni! Si tratta di un’immagine ispirata al racconto australiano Il Grande Occhio dello Spavento, parte dell’antologia di fiabe dell’Oceania curata da Luigi Dal Cin.

A lato, una mia illustrazione ispirata ad un’altra fiaba della raccolta, La Casa delle Nuvole.

Inuit fable

fiabainuit2 I made this painting this summer, during an illustration course in Sarmede. It was inspired by an inuit fairy tale, but I actually wanted to paint a woman carrying a lamp, so I think the immage isn’t strongly related to the fable itself.

I made this picture during an illustration course in Sarmede, this summer, and it was selected to be included in the 25th exposition Le Immagini della Fantasia.

The illustration is based on a Chinese fairy tale. The story is about a beautiful and skilled girl who could embroider wonderful animals and give them life. She is ordered to create a real dragon in a week, she had to work day and night so I imagined her falling asleep over her dragon when she finally ends.

Procede, anche se con lentezza, il lavoro dedicato alla fiaba di Brancafuart. Ovvimente, le illustrazioni sono sempre in ordine sparso… Qui siamo all’inizio della storia, con Celestin che arriva alla casa di Brancafuart…trasportato da un’aquila!

SOFIA AND SERENA: conclusion

Sofia and Serena, cats, fables, fairy tales, illustrations No Comments »

They got married and lived happily .

My grandfather used to end the story with this rhymes, in dialect:

e an fat un pastin e un paston
e a mi che l’hai contada niancia un bocon
e ‘a me an trat un uos ta la schena
c’a è tutta nuot che se remena.

(…and they had a big dinner
I told the story bat I couldnt’t eat
and they threw a bone at me
so my back has been hurting all night.)

The prince brought Sofia to the carriage, but he suddently hear a voice singing:

“Sparrow, little sparrow, go away from my seeds!

The daughter of my stepmother is going to marry my fiancè!”

The prince understood: he got into the house and arrived to the storage room following Serena’s voice. He kicked in the door, and freed Serena. Then he pushed Sofia out of the carriage and went to the church with Serena.

The wedding day, the stepmother closed poor Serena in a storage room. Then called Sofia. The girl put on the wedding dress. Then she covered her head and face with a thick veil.
The prince noticed that something was strange, but Sofia said:
“I couldn’t sleep: I was so excited! Maybe I look tired…”
