“I am NiSi,” An Artist’s Blog
“NiSi’s Eyes is simply that; her vision, her self expression, her art. Her goal is to educate women, beautify women, and empower women. Denise ‘NiSi’ Lee does this by providing beauty services, self protection tools, poetic expression, visual arts and mentorship.
“I am NiSi (pronounced nuh-si) of NiSi’s Eyes, and this is your one stop shop for all things NiSi.
“‘Beauty awakens the Soul to ACT’ is a quote that speaks to the idea of when you look better, you feel better. When a person is confident about their outer image, their self-esteem boosts. My goal is to relax my client and let them enjoy their time of pampering, but also allow people’s true self expression to shine through.
“When we work together to enhance your beautiful canvas, you’re sure to receive makeup tips, a friendly demeanor, flawless results and be apart of my community of beauty/art lovers (it’s optional but you don’t want to miss out on the amazingness that’s in store).” –Denise “NiSi” Lee, “I am NiSi,” nisiseyes, Retrieved February 3, 2023
Danielius Sodeika “Midway Upon the Journey of Our Life…”
“Artworks of Danielius Sodeika are self-purposed. He doesn‘t make them for himself nor others. They appear to be more like questions leaning towards, like the way to check up if the impulse of the vector has continuance.”
“Small-scale sculptural objects from wood, metal, household elements or findings. With their form they remind religious, cultural or archetypal symbols. Storyline is more than in the objects themselves, but also in the spaces between – as signs of invisible power – that tightens chain and breaks the log. Probably it is artist’s way to speak about finality and inevitable entropy – because when it comes – it dominates over all demolishes all other meanings.”

“Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost.” -Dante Alighieri
Edith Torony, Love that Moves the Sun and Other Stars (2019 painting)
“My works are earthly, starting with Junkyard Symphony, an approach related to the exterior, ground and waste. The space is increasingly populated by ordinary or current objects, but also by characters, I am trying to maintain a playful manner through representation and recomposition. It passes into another register, the interior, the desires, the lust. but keeping the same horizontal plane. So this is how the personal mythologies were born, with sincerity, boredom, suffering, desires, or guilty pleasures. Beginning with Toxic Desire, I’m more interested in distinguishing my subjectivity and individual development. All the works were shaped around personal experiences. From the representations of the bad choices we make through our superficiality and a hedonistic living, to the assumption of this flat existence. We are captive in a sort of limbo of desires. And on this realm I build my works, as a sequential reinterpretation of Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.” –Edith Torony, “Love that Moves the Sun and Other Stars”, Saatchi Art, 2019
“5 Things To Know About Schiaparelli’s Dante-Inspired SS23 Couture Show,” Vogue Article
“From divisive foam animal heads to Daniel Roseberry’s meditation on Dante’s Inferno, British Vogue’s fashion critic Anders Christian Madsen shares five things to know about Schiaparelli’s spring/summer 2023 couture show, which opened Couture Fashion Week this season.

“In his self-penned show notes, Roseberry cited Dante’s Inferno as the inspiration behind the collection, likening its protagonist’s uncertain journey into hell to the doubt that falls upon a designer like himself when he sits down to design. ‘This collection is my homage to doubt,’ he wrote. ‘I wanted to step away from techniques I was comfortable with and understood, to choose instead that dark wood where everything is scary but new.’ The feeling of the inferno appeared more as a spiritual reference than a direct one, unless your idea of hell is being trapped inside a massive faux taxidermy wolf, Midsommar style. (Naomi Campbell, who was given the honour, seemed typically unfazed.) Along with the lion and the snow leopard, it represented the animals Dante equates to lust, pride and avarice. A reference to the friendly giants he encounters in hell, a hammered brass and patina handmade giant’s head hit the runway with equal theatrical effect.
