When
examining the works of Dina Cangi we perceive forms that emerge from
the depths of the hearts as if they came seeking a light which, in
the end, they find, a dazzling light, and in the deepest silence.
They seem to appear spontaneously from the painter's hand evoked by
her alone, prey to a serene abandon. It is often enough for the colours
to be a different in order to provide new appearance to the same forms
and bring to mind new landscapes. Yes, perhaps the sensation which
these works most often communicate is that they have to do with abandoned
landscapes in which man has left no trace of himself and which present
themselves to us populated at times by the wrecks of an underwater
world, at times by the remains of civilisations burnt by the sun and
by the passage of time. In any case these landscapee seem to have
already known for thousands of years the heat of the sun or the coolness
of the moon, and through their long exposure to history dazzle us
with a magnetic light which is impossible to remove from our imagination.
We are stimulated to travel in this era, in these places which we
do not understand, whether they are of the memory or of the future,
adn which offer a flight and a place of refuge to anyone wanting to
feel that they are in voluntary exile from chaos or from daily life
or from all the recognisable forms of life.
We know well that if we want to speak of places we mean interior places,
given that, rather than find physically existing places in the works
of Dina Cangi, we should rather see symbols, meditations and the interior
visions of the artist.
Tha range of colours is selected cleverly each time in order to always
form refined compositions, whether they have to do with degrees of
red as a memory of combustions, deflagrations, types of incandescence,
or whether it is the blues that predominate like night shadows, lunar
flares or objects abandoned in the bottom of an aquarium. At times
we also find more toned down atmospheres with the yellows of golden
seas, deserts or lagoons with enchanted mirror like water.
What is always constant is the choice of forms placed in the foreground
that unfold as if through layer upon layer, with undertones of light
which provide relief to them and contribute to their insertion into
space: they at times look like layers of cloud or skies rendered apart
by the light of an incandescent sun; while at other times they are
simply atmospheres created by degrees of colour shaded with soft,
indefinite tones. Thanks also the balanced composition, balanced in
its resulting tones and volumes, the mark of sensations provided by
the works of Dina Cangi remains deep in our soul, leaving a serenity
and a harmony which we often pursue at length.
