O-collective: new emerging artists

At the moment the first show of o-collective is one of my main concerns, because it will be the first resulting project of something I’ve been organizing for the last months, and a reward of the hard work. I see this as one my first achievements after graduating, it has the sense of the beginning of an era…Together with managing the o-collective I also have to focus on my own work at a daily basis. It’s easy to loose track sometimes of what is important after graduating, because you feel detached from what you’ve been really trying to achieve during the years you spent studying. Specially when you have to maintain an "ordinary" job completely unrelated to your artistic practice. I work as a waitress, so between my working hours is when I focus on my drawings/paintings. At the moment the series I am working on I see it as a tracking system, some sort of scientific study on the aspects of figuration and abstraction. by Ceci Lombardi
