Biancaneve Make-up is inspired by the writings of Wassily Kandinsky on abstraction. The project depicts a day in the life of a Kandinsky-like artist – a spiritual being who communicates through lines, colours and compositions. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wassily W. Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Agnes Martin and Anni Albers are amongst the artists, who were influential in the aesthetic and conceptual philosophy of the work.

Biancaneve Make-up looks at the symbols and combinatorial principles which are at the basis of the Chinese oracle I Ching, consisting of 64 possible combinations of 6 lines.

The creative action starts with the disposition of the lines on the snow on the model of the first hexagram of the oracle, the Qián, or Creative.

The artist then interacts with the starting pattern of lines until she breaks them down and finds other unexpected combinations. 

The lines are made of polystyrene sheets to which coloured pigments have been applied. They have been arranged on the snowy surface and photographed at each displacement made.
