Che vuole l'arte? Esprimere l'inesprimibile e comunicare l'incomunicabile. Mara Corfini lo sa. I suoi acquerelli ne sono la testimonianza. La pittrice lucchese presenta il tipo stesso d'arte volta a cogliere l'infinito nel finito (e non viceversa). Lo fa facendo appello, appunto, alla rischiosa tecnica dell'acquerello. Ne è diventata maestra. Chiamiamola pure la pittrice senza errori. Si avverte che dipinge di getto, sotto lo stimolo dell'imperiosa vocazione. Ha scelto perchè è stata scelta, in un 'crescendo' di percezioni e di emozioni in cui si precisano orizzonti nuovi. Il suo campo è ormai quello. E' la poetessa del mondo più segreto delle cose, visto, sentito e sognato, inseparabilmente.....

What does art want? To express the unexpressible and to communicate what  is impossible to communicate.Mara Corfini knows it. Her  watercolours are the testimony. The painter from Lucca  presents the type of art itself that wants to pick the infinitive into the finitive (and not viceversa).
She does it roll calling, infact, the risky tecnique of watercolour .She has  become  a teacher  of it. Let`s call her the painter whitout mistakes. You feel that she paints at  a sitting ,under the influence of the imperious vocatio. She chose`` because she has been chosen`` in a crescendo of perceptions and emotions in which are specified new orizons. That`s her field now. She `s the poet of the  most secret world`s things, seen, heard and dreamt, unseparable. Let`s imagine her watercolours were limited to be a simple comment to Vivaldi`s music. In  this  case it wouldn`t live of  proper light. But  the reality is different. Mara Corfini `s  painting is completely autonomous, ,finding, although, in the music of , the ``red priest`` a marvellous way of expression and development. So the images follow with rhythmic elegance and armonious existence the orizon widens up ; everything goes into that magic line that is a bit the  geometrical place of the most clear shapes and ,nevertheless, the most mythical. If we are  talking about mankind or things it doesn`t matter , the differences are abolished like the measures. We see the little shepherd reduced to a silhouette while a fly can became gigantic these images don`t have much of an indicative nature (like the telegraph pole that tells that electricity goes through),but `` revealing``.  It`s an entire magic world that opens up for us .The emotions, the perceptions, the most unsual sensations are now possible to be able to justify the reverse of things. ``The lucchese artist has almost become a rabdomante that with  simplicity let us discover fresh springs expecially creates, you could say- to satisfy our thirst. Now we  are hearing  the confidences of branches and leaves:the hints and the suggestions of clouds colours are now perceiveble. The fury of the most wild winds doesn`t scare us any more. Because all is peace, harmony , an invitation to serenity .We feel that time –space prisons have been abolished .And with them has also disappeared the anguish of the individual and the worry that its fragility projected. It hasn`t been easy to comeup to say so much with means(apparently) so delicate like watercolour. But Mara Corfini has won .Her paint strokes have guessed the unexpressable and had offered it to us. A simple chromatism (based on intense green, shaded yellow and  red, delicate violet and vigorous and complex blue) accompain emotions and  vision of the painter. We could name  them all. Let`s limit ourselves to signalate most of all in the vivaldian winter ``Orrido vento….bagna ben cento ``Cammina…girsene intenti``. In the winter of the ``red priest`` it seems perfect : ``Giunti….Shioppi e cani `
Doubts are not permitted any longer, Mara Corfini has won her  bet . We see  her  fly towards the  hights with grace and the unimitable elegance of a dragonfly.
'`It hasn`t been easy in the beginning, the concentration, the study of the scores , the spontaneous fleeting of the brush strokes, the symbology of colours regarding the season it`s always a difficult research; the simbolism, the speed of concentration of painting listening and trasforming  at a spontaneous sitting with the  paint strokes the syntetic grafic of drawing.``  Mara Corfini
