AN ARTIST WITH A DIFFERENCE
Joanne Villani is an Adelaide-based artist. Her perception of art has paved the way for many sold out exhibitions and awards. Specialising within her chosen medium of mixed media, each painting is hand painted and crafted with highly textural finishes.
“I love to paint, it is in my soul, I would feel lost if I didn’t have a brush in my hand and an inspiration to transpose. But art is not just something to hang on a wall. It’s not just someone’s emotions, vision, and expressions on a canvas to be traded as a commodity. I see art as a poet or as an author see words. They are simply the building blocks that can be skillfully crafted to make people laugh, to make people cry, to cause a riot or to change the world. Art is a language, an expression of the soul. It gives people permission to step outside the constraints of their habitual lives and release the essence of who they really are or who they really could be.”
