WORKS
The combination of painting, drawing, matter and acquisition from photography and graphics are the expressive means he uses to recompose his "special interior universe". In which images intersect with painting and matter and the figurative merge with the abstract and the fantastic. Her multifaceted nature leads her to develop a mix between cultured and mass art, with an aesthetic typical of the reality of the media and advertising, from which the artist comes. Through an unprecedented Pop style in which a dream world, painting, photography, graphics, design and material installations create a multifaceted language.

Atlantis Collection:
The common thread from which Anna Laura draws inspiration for her new "ATLANTIS" collection is the use of myth as a key to interpreting and giving an image to the darkest and most mysterious side of our unconscious. The thought of a pre-human humanity, such as that inhabited by the Olympian gods and fantastic figures, is associated with the idea of a natural absolute, with a mythical area that lies on this side of any discomfort of civilization, in the re-proposal of a another reality that accompanies us.
The myth as an expression of archetypes, as a rational elaboration of impulses, fears, ancestral values, or as a sense of loss of a better past.
But the center of reflection seems to be the relationship between myth and art over time. In two thousand years of human history, the most diverse interpretations of the myth have been given, from Plato to Aeschylus and Aristotle, from Hegel to Kant, from Freud to Jung. And certainly these different readings in themselves shape a relevant representation in Millacci's works, but that of Plato and his Atlantis is undoubtedly the predominant interpretation.
Atlantis, whose name derives from Atlas, the mythical giant who held the world on his shoulders and governed the ocean, was a hypothetical very large continent that sank, thousands and thousands of years ago, beyond the columns of Hercules, in the waters of the present Atlantic Ocean. The disappeared island that Plato spoke about for the first time in his Dialogues was governed by ten kings, the descendants of the sea god Poseidon and was rich in metals and forests, wild and domestic animals, spices, fruits and legumes. Its capital, dominated by a high mountain, was populated by fabulous homes, palaces and temples covered in gold, silver and ivory.
ATLANTIS, the legendary paradisiacal and sumptuous submerged city, is the starting point from which the artist observes and researches with attentive eyes, the natural human inclination always eager for lust, from which the ancient original sin of destroying one's paradise is born.
