Combinations
Take a look, take time and absorb life around you and then go back to the canvas Interpret your experiences into your own language in a painterly fashion. Imitate the colours, shapes and behaviours while developing a story that can be read by the onlooker, We live in such an extraordinary and amazing world how can we ever say that we have no inspiration!!
Mankind in the millions of different genetic combinations, constantly defying the natural rules of fleshy tones, So much inspiration to be found from here with hair styles, make up and fashion! Hair that’s held up with the thickness of gel and coloured like a cockerel’s crest Hair that’s shaved off with skin that is polished or bears a tattoo.
Make–up that is theatrical, that is scary or beautiful but made to attract the onlooker. Body piercings and tattoos, leather waistcoats and bovver boots with chains dangling from every direction. High heels like stilts shaping the carves into erotic shapes, nail varnish on long nails, designer clothes with the labels. Smart suits, shiny shoes and ties that are bold, glasses that are funky, and the gangling of gold.
Nature’s paint brush can easily give inspiration to all that take time to look. Flowers with vibrant patterns that are repeated in mathematical rhythms Shapes so exotic that bees and butterflies are lured into them, why it must be love at first sight! Some with such intricate designs and textures giving the impression of carefully folded silk, Stamens hang like golden threads shinning in the sun releasing their potent dust.
Patterns camouflaging wildlife, while also adding to their unquestionable beauty, Stripes, dots, and squares in all different combinations that will hide them in their natural habitats The Chameleon with its ever changing colour codes adapting to all and every situation. Male birds displaying coloured feathers during the courtship dance, That includes a persuasive demonstration of erotic movements and sweet words in the shape of high tones.

In 2002, after 30 years of drawing and painting through the observation and the delivery of a more illustrative art, Marilyn Comparetto began to experiment. Consequently later works very rarely just illustrate the things or people that occupy the world. Even a representation of objects grouped in a painterly composition may reveal sections of the artist’s own life. Following an initial intensive time of experimentation, Marilyn finally found she could be totally expressive by breaking all the rules and ignoring all of the criticism around her. Marilyn continues to develop the theoretical approach of portraying emotions and connections intertwined within the compositions of her art work. Creating paintings by pulling deep thoughts and emotions from her own subconscious or/and from influences in the world around her she spews them onto the canvas. As part of this process Marilyn often not only gives a visual image but also creates, and attaches, some poetry or prose so that the viewer can understand the emotions that were being delivered in front of them. In an endeavour to give clarity to her approach to the art world, and general public, Marilyn has named this free style form of art ‘Mixism – the ultimate form of expressionism’. Today Marilyn continues to develop her Mixism works, alongside the more traditional style of paintings that that have also been influenced by her move to include emotional connotations. An example of this is a work to the right that is in progression. In this still life Marilyn has discreetly included emotions and thoughts about her parents who have both passed away. The glass box was created by her father , the book was read by her mother. The five pieces of fruit represent the fruit of their love and the birth of five children . Currently Marilyn is working with Mary Bogdan , the author, on the creation of the illustrations for the book called Simsian..
