About my art
I am curious about the most intimate parts of being human, the person you are when no one is looking, and what you will bring with you to your grave. My work takes those raw, sometimes inner experiences, and finds a way to make them beautiful, even inviting. Whether you are daydreaming of getting married to a person who does not want anything to do with you, trying to guess your own death date, or staring at your own reflection for hours until you become unrecognizable to your own eyes. As an artist, when I am creating something, I immerse myself in the feelings I am trying to portray and to explore new parts of myself that I may not often get in touch with. I want people to feel the comfort of knowing that they are not alone, that they are not weird, and that maybe there is a way to describe what they are truly feeling, and develop a positive relationship with those obscure parts of themselves. My art has explored themes like grief, self-love, and hereditary diseases, even if the themes can be sad or have a negative connotation, my art strives to make it easier to talk about them with lighter colors and unusual subjects. Who you truly are is between you and yourself, just know that I am as weird as you are, I am as vulnerable as you are, and I am in love with life as much as you are.
About me
Vi Geraci is an Italian-born Digital and Traditional artist working in Upstate New York, United States. Her work focuses on the exploration of the weirdness of human nature, with media like acrylics, digital paintings, and clay. Her work is an elaborate web of connections with personal experiences and an imaginary alternative universe, majority of her work is not available due to it being destroyed or erased after its completion, an important aspect of the exploration of how fragile and unstable life is. The artist's work “Pink Imperfections” was previously exhibited at the Marist University Art Gallery, where it was later destroyed by the artist herself in a final act of representing the meaning of the artwork: an entity cannot see love and success from others until they allow themselves to see their own worth first.
