Una pittura senza peso, una segnica senza grafica, una dimensione senza tempo.
Per scoprire emozioni nuove, Mara si serve dell'acquerello, un mezzo tecnico esile, inconsistente e difficile, etereo nella sua applicazione, libero come l'acqua, di cui esprime o sottintende la simbologia.
Nell'azzardato gioco della trasfigurazione della musica, nell'accoglimento di un possibile surreale, Mara esprime, insomma, la gioia di vivere, inconsapevole o no e spazia in un mondo senza più ormeggi, libera di pensare, muoversi e agire, leggera e imprendibile come un elfo.

-Mara Corfini  in the reading of simbol-

In Mara Corfini`s painting what immediately strikes  you is her capacity to transfer on paper ,because of paper we are talking  about when it`s watercolour speaking , intimate ,filtered through the soul `s silence.
The tissue of her pictorical work is particular ;it doesn`t know anger ,monotony , boredom and absolute absence of comflictuality, grants to harmony the primary  role .Vivaldi the red  priest , docet . The painter grants him a trasfigurate  space and his  music ,between fragile and marvellous , fantastic and real ,assumes a connotation almost  fisical under the paint strokes  of the artist .The four Seasons become characters ,they become animated , expressing visibility the need  to come out of a limitated space and out ,of a much contained time .They stretch out , they wrap up ,  intersect in the modulated affirmations of sinthesis and they  reverse the order of a preformed design , exspressing the unexpressable. With lightness Corfini faces pittorical timing .she scrutinizes the world that surrounds her and translates it in music without notes , felt with the inside ear of who is able to listen at the level of unconscious or of who is able to listen at level of the uncouscious or of probable.
Her paintstrokes are although vigorous they treat violets and in turquoises in prodigious cromatic range that becomes supporting elements of all her creation.
An inside rhytm scanned by a quick gestuality contributes in giving to Mara`s  painting a touch of dynamism and opens possible and further implications,delighting is the vision of her creations: clear luminouscence of still waters, green particles of meadows full liberty ,rarefied suns upon archs of tranparet waters .What it is that the artist wants to give to the abserver is imaginative elaboration of her world that free from the material , reveals the suble body ,which is possible to locate only by whom see from above. Mara`s work disentangles anyway on a naturalistc  system. It quickly goes through spaces of music ,poetry and stops to contemplate nature which participates to such  precious burden .And nature becomes protagonist equal to music and  poetry.
A joyful vitality that takes and transforms the tale of the world with the grace of beatuty ,that runs throught the eyes arriving to the soul .Shapes quickly assimilated in vaults or refered to clear symbolic elements.
Any how each work shows completeness ,and from the latitude of a bright symbolism ,when it`s music that makes ,itself  heard ,getting down to the common experience in the tranquil lecture of water games or naturalistic landscapes .Aweightless painting,a mark without graphic, a timeless dimension. To discover new emotions, Mara uses watercolour ,a suble techique , insubstantial and diffult, ethereal in the applicazion, free like water of which exspresses or unintends the symbolism.
In the risky game of the transfiguration of music in the accommodation of a possible unreal ,mara expresses the joy of living ,unconscious or not ,and spaces in a world with nor longer  moorings free to think move and act , light and un catchable like and elf`.
