"If the bee disappears from the face of the earth,
man would only have four years to live"
ANONIMUS
INTRODUCTION
Ing. Mauro Rutto
This phrase attributed to the famous scientist Albert Einstein, is a historical forgery but contains a small truth and I would like to bring to light the vital need of these pollinating insects.
My passion for the world of bees and the approach to the fascinating world of art led me to think and propose a renewal in the method of displaying the apiary not only as a collection of "colored houses" placed chaotically in the territory, but as a a work of art that integrates harmoniously with the landscape.
I would like to be able to get public awareness both locally and globally, through art in order to bring people closer to this fantastic world of this insect, unfortunately unknown to many.
The bees so simple at first glance hide a enchanting world and rich in virtue. Suffice it to say that, even thousands of years ago, the great Latin poet Virgilio in his famous work "Le Georgiche" extolled the organization of bees to the maximum, praising them for their activities. In the same way, art has influenced us for millennia, from the first rocky design to today with digital art.
These two opposite elements, at first glance, are so intertwined and manage to influence the environment around us.
Project
"Author's Apiary" means actively intervening in support of the environment, safeguarding nature in the interests of all. The proposal is aimed at raising awareness of the bee world through art, it is aimed at all lovers of nature and art, foodies, those who love genuine products, those who are aware of the importance of environmentally friendly activities for defence nature.
Purposes
It focuses on the importance of bees as indicators of the quality of the environment and for the continuity of the planet's food resources, through pollination and honey production. Bringing people closer to this fascinating world and being able to raise awareness of this insect as if they were entering an art gallery for the pleasure of admiring a work by a great artist.
Auction
The charity auction, which will take place in April 2020, will be awarded the authentic work of the artist and who has "lived" for an entire beekeeping season in contact with a family of bees and the seasonality of events. This concept was designed to ensure that the work is unique and carries with it an indelible sign of both the artist and the incessant work of the bee and nature.
Art can be a means to the fate of bees.
Opera
The project will develop during the year 2019 and will reach its final stage in 2020 when the 15 works will be auctioned in order to involve more and influence public opinion and bring to the highest levels "the work of art" that for millennia has managed to create this extraordinary mytnottero.
Bees
The bees with their incessant work will give character to the back of the front leaving indelible marks such as fragments of propolis, wax etc., leaving the characteristic "bee perfume".
Artist's
The artist is a person who expresses his personality through a medium. It will leave its mark on the front exterior in order to embellish, according to its pictorial technique and graphics, this simple panel of fir. In addition, the environment with the various climatic conditions will also leave a mark on the work.
