7. Portals, Murals and More | Madeleine Tonzi

This is both a soothing and super relevant conversation for the current times. Oakland based artist, Madeleine Tonzi, is a painter and muralist.  Originally from the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Madeleine’s work is both a reflection of the past, present and future, in which she extracts the essence of moments to create mystical and surreal landscapes.  Through a distinct color pallet, soft natural elements and rigid architectural forms, she places emphasis on environments laden with both freedom and boundaries that which shape our navigation through this world and highlight the importance of preserving that which is sacred.     We talked about...   --Madeleine's work: honoring the sacred, home, the desert and portals as a metaphor.   --Navigating being an empathic artist --How she creates her pieces based on mood and the shifts in the work    --The art “movement” of our time that Madeleine (and I!) feel to be a part of   --Thoughts on weaving spirituality and esoteric themes into one’s work   ---Entering the mural game as a woman and advice for starting out   --The juicy details of her experience working with Meow Wolf   -- And more!    ------------------------- LINKS + MENTIONS The Last Days of the Art World...And Perhaps the First Days of a New One by Jerry Saltz Meow Wolf Coco Rosie Aurora FOLLOW MADELEINE www.madeleinetonzi.com @madeleinetonzi _______________________________ STAY IN THE ART + MAGIC LOOP  @artandmagicpodcast @devonwalzart www.devonwalz.com
