Soft cover. Zustand: New. DIARY OF AN ITALIAN ARTIST IN INDIA In a true performance, Italian artist Simona Bocchi immerses herself for more than a decade in an existential journey on the India sub-continent. During her long stay in India she explores new external landscapes that remodel her own interior landscape through her practice of conscious attention, and she offers herself to the reader as a companion for an extraordinary introspective journey. Simona empties sculptural material to refill it with the ether of her deep yearning for understanding by exploration. She sculpts, casts in bronze, stitches and paints, willingly embracing teachings from the unknown and living the whole creative journey as a long meditation, in full acceptance of the here and now and without any preconceptions. It was a hard task for a disruptive and rebellious young artist like Simona, an emancipated woman and a Westerner. It tested her willingness to immerse herself in a country characterised by astrict regime of behaviour, caste hierarchy and fierce chauvinism that contradicted her way of being. However, this encounter and clash of opposing worlds has rewarded her with a deep reflection on her values and a heightened awareness.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Art is an exemplary school of humanity and inner re-balancing for Simona Bocchi. Although suffering is profoundly human and dwells within each of us, it should stay balanced. The interest of writing this book derives from the author's strong desire to use art for therapeutic purposes, in social contexts accessible to everyone. Simona's art therapy work takes inspiration, among other things, from the methods of observation by Maria Montessori who dedicated her life to children. Her experience with Tibetan monks and their authentic ancient meditation tradition during the creation of a mandala, as a sacred and creative action has become an original way to complete her art therapy method.
