Manuela Vladic-Mastruko<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Tecnica: graphite pencil, colored pencil, collage, gouache<\/p>\n

Anno: 2024-2026<\/p>\n

Dimensione: 29 x 38 cm<\/p>\n

Descrizione: The project History of Ailments, Reading, Joy, Sorrow and Ageing (Metamorphoses) reflects on the fragility and resilience of the human body and the capacity of the spirit to bridge the gap between physical limitations and creative vitality. Facing chronic illness, multiple surgeries, and natural processes of ageing, the artist transforms her therapeutic journal into an artwork of wider resonance. Each chapter addresses a specific bodily change\u2014wrinkles, prosthetics, or loss of voice\u2014and is depicted through pencil drawings, tempera, collage, and humorous or self-ironic commentary. The work moves from intimate confession toward collective meaning, showing how personal transformation affirms universality and equality of spirit.
\nThe structure of the book is multi-layered: text and image are enriched with pop-up elements, perforations, and collage. Quotations from literature, found by synchronicity, add depth to the narrative, while references to tattoo iconography bring the theme of body modification into dialogue with cultural history. The artist also plays with identity, embodying figures from mythology and art history\u2014from Aphrodite to Frida Kahlo\u2014while reflecting on pain, resilience, and creativity. Connections to artists such as Kahlo or Kiki Smith highlight a shared engagement with the body as both subject and metaphor.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":49756,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[447,3800,200],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-49755","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-figurativo","product_cat-manuela-vladic-mastruko","product_cat-piccola","first","instock","downloadable","virtual","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHistory of Ailments, Reading, Joy, Sorrow and Ageing (Metamorphoses) | Arteaporte<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arteaporte.com\/en\/product\/history-of-ailments,-reading,-joy,-sorrow-and-ageing-metamorphoses-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"History of Ailments, Reading, Joy, Sorrow and Ageing (Metamorphoses) | Arteaporte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Manuela Vladic-Mastruko Tecnica: graphite pencil, colored pencil, collage, gouache Anno: 2024-2026 Dimensione: 29 x 38 cm Descrizione: The project History of Ailments, Reading, Joy, Sorrow and Ageing (Metamorphoses) reflects on the fragility and resilience of the human body and the capacity of the spirit to bridge the gap between physical limitations and creative vitality.
