A love between a man and a woman.
A love between a white woman and a black man.
A love between European background and American background.
A love between a Catholic woman and a Buddhist man.
A love between the mind and the soul.
A love between two artists, a poet and a painter.
A love between good and evil.
A not so usual story of love; one of duality, triumph of freedom, passion, emblazoned attraction of twin flames.
Two lovers are follow each other in a final attempt to be together.
The obstacles are not only physical or cultural nor differences in background, it is an interior substantial difference they have to overcome. their challenge is to know each other more deeply, to be integrated without fear or frustration; not to hide their real nature.
A new concept of love counter to social norms.
Two lovers will develop a "Scheme for their Love" walking on the street together, as two artists.
The public will see how harmoniously yet difficult it is to create two canvas together, that will ultimately be integrated at the end.
This culminating union of the two canvases is a metaphor of the power of love, overcoming the differences, and universally the metaphor of pure love trough art.
Performance:
Two large free standing parallel canvases will be the metaphor of a significant moment in the life of the two artists in love, as a metaphor of the “futuristic” concept of love between man and woman.
On one canvas there will be the history of a period of their life projected in the future Locations: N.Y. and Milan in separate years of the present 2010 and the future 5016. They will write, as performance; poetry, songs, stories etc..
On the other canvas there is a visual description of the story in acryl and oil.
The artists will rotate from one canvas to the other, dancing, writing and adding painted images.
The lovers never encounter each other until the very end.
The artists too will not encounter each other until the very end….(except for particular moment they paint together, but they don't really realize it) ....where their brushes meet, finally to sign their painting, Lesamants.
The Music changes between the woman’s performance and the man’s performance, “Dancing With Brushes”. When they paint together, silence triumphs, the music stops. The sound of freedom.
Main subject of this painting
Struggle and unification between man and woman, They are no longer opposite entities.
They are living simultaneously in two different time periods, 2010-5016.
Ironically these two separate dimensions allow them to make up for their mistakes and even to forgive themselves, through the space of time.

° Brigitta Rossetti, born in Piacenza on 24-02-1974.
At a very tender age, her love for art and an uncommon spirit of observation urged her to search for the truths of the universe. Poetry is the mother of “flights” into the unknown, she sings and changes them into moments of fullness, whether they bring joy or suffering.
Painting is the daughter of poetry, where a poetic weave shines through in apparent simplicity, inscrutable, depicting parallel realities.
The artist also specializes in studying multimedia communications, obtaining her MEM at the Polytechnic College of Milan. As a result her artistic approach sees the creation of videos and installations like, for example, Flower presented at the Ferrara Biennial in November 2008.
As a poetess and painter, Brigitta Rossetti completed an artistic catalogue “Stelle senza Lato” (Stars with no Sides), MMC Editions in 2008;
At the International “Ali Penna D’Autore” she was chosen for an award for her contribution to the Anthology “Le Migliori Poesie della Religione Cristiana” (The Best Poems of the Christian Religion) and received a mention of honour plus the addition of other poems in the Anthology “I Classici Della Letteratura Italiana” (The Classics of Italian Literature) in 2008-2009; co-authoress in the essay “Investire in Cina” (Investing in China), Publisher Rubettino, in 2006; she was chosen at the Monza poetry competition with a publication in the “Antologia del Premio Letterario Città di Monza” (Anthology of the Monza Literary Award) in 2000.
From among numerous painters, she was chosen to be part of the Mega Art cultural association, run by Claudio Giulianelli.
She was asked to paint paintings as an award for the journalists Gaetano Rizzuto, director of the daily paper Libertà, and Alberto Schieppati, director of Food & Beverage in July 2008, and Luigi Cremona and Emanuele Galba, director of the daily paper Cronaca in 2009.
Some of Brigitta Rossetti paintings have been bought by Ruggero Jannuzzelli, benefactor,
who collects the works of important contemporary artists in his Montesegale castle.
In November 2008 the artist took part in the IV Ferrara Biennial with an installation video
and has been invited to take part in the VII Edition of the Florence Biennial in 2009. She Is working as an artist In the ZhouBrothers Art Center In Chicago.
She has reached the third place to the prize Italia Arte by Guido Folco, Torino 2009, and selected between the winner of the Environment Prize by Donato Coenna, Fiuggi 2009.
