Welcome to the World of Bastilliani – Art that Touches and Inspires.
Emotion ARTS
Hi, I’m Bastilliani.
My work is not just something to look at – it’s something to feel. A journey through emotion and thought, where the familiar is questioned and the unexpected becomes a mirror to the soul. Each piece is a conversation – raw, intimate, and layered with meaning.
What drives me is the beauty of contrast. Bold colors collide with textured depth, clarity blends with abstraction. The result? Compositions that don’t explain – they evoke. Art that resists definition and invites discovery.
I believe creativity lives in all of us – and that art can unlock something deeply personal. My vision is to inspire reflection, awaken curiosity, and encourage people to trust their inner voice.
That’s why I let my work speak for itself. No loud artist persona, no distractions – just the connection between you and what you see.
Because true art doesn’t need to be explained.
It needs to be felt.
My Journey to Art – Discovering my Calling
Art has always been a part of me. As a child, I could spend hours painting, creating, and shaping—a pure expression of freedom. But as it often happens in life, we sometimes lose touch with what truly fulfills us. Years later, while living in Hawaii, surrounded by the endless ocean and the raw energy of nature, I rediscovered my creativity. I began sketching portraits again—intuitively, simply driven by the deep urge to create what had been lying dormant within me.
But art was never confined to just canvases or paper. During my time as a bartender and chef, I found other ways to express my creativity. I realized that creativity is not bound to one medium—it is an inner drive to bring something to life. Yet, the first time I truly lost myself in my art, when the world around me faded and only the act of creating remained, I knew: This is it. This is my calling.
Since that moment, there is nothing more fulfilling to me than creating art that captivates people. I don’t want them to simply see a painting—I want them to feel it. I want them to pause, to immerse themselves in the stories my works tell, and to sense the deeper meaning behind them. Because art is more than just aesthetics. Art is emotion. Art is reflection. Art is a journey into one’s own soul.
Exhibitions & Milestones
My art has taken me on a journey that extends far beyond my canvases. One of my greatest milestones has been participating in the ARTIADE – Olympics of Art in New York, where my work was exhibited alongside international artists. This exhibition was not only an honor but also a confirmation that art transcends borders—both geographic and emotional.
Yet, for me, it is not just the major exhibitions that matter, but the encounters with people who are moved by my art. Every piece tells a story, but only in the dialogue with the viewer does its true essence unfold. Whether in galleries, private collections, or artistic events, my vision is to create art that inspires, captivates, and resonates.

The High Appreciation of Artworks: A Fusion of Emotion and Thought
Art is the expression of human emotion and thought. It transcends the boundaries of time, culture, and language, often reaching deep into the innermost parts of our hearts. Every artwork, whether a painting, sculpture, music, or literature, carries the emotions and wisdom of its creator. For this reason, artworks often evoke profound resonance in the viewer, leading to a deep appreciation.
Firstly, the charm of an artwork lies in its ability to elicit emotional responses from the viewer. Whether it is a quiet painting or an impassioned piece of music, artworks convey the artist’s emotions through color, line, form, or sound. Take Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as an example; with exquisite technique, da Vinci captures the mysterious smile of the subject. Her ambiguous and subtle expression prompts viewers to ponder—this mysterious smile has sparked countless explorations into human emotion and the depths of the soul. This emotional resonance is at the heart of art.
Secondly, artworks often possess profound intellectual depth that can stimulate deep reflection on the world. Art is not merely an aesthetic enjoyment; it sometimes serves as a reflection on society, history, and philosophy. For instance, Picasso’s Guernica uses abstract forms to depict the brutality of war and the suffering of humanity. The distorted figures and chaotic imagery convey the violence and irrationality of war. Such works of art are not only visually striking but also intellectually challenging, prompting us to reflect on violence, war, and human nature.
Moreover, artworks transcend the specific time and space in which they were created, becoming symbols of culture and witnesses to history. For example, Along the River During the Qingming Festival is a masterpiece that integrates history, culture, and art. This painting depicts the vibrant life of the Northern Song Dynasty in the city of Bianjing (modern-day Kaifeng), offering a detailed portrayal of daily life and the various aspects of society. It is not merely an artistic creation but a historical record, allowing us to glimpse the social scene of a thousand years ago. This cultural value that transcends time and space is one of the reasons why artworks are highly appreciated.
The high regard for art often stems from its ability to touch upon universal human experiences, transcending individual perception. Every great artwork contains the artist’s profound thoughts and unique emotional expression. These works not only reflect the creator’s inner world but also inspire viewers to re-examine themselves, society, and history. In this process, the artwork not only fulfills its mission of self-expression but also fosters widespread cultural and intellectual exchange.
In conclusion, artworks are highly appreciated because they touch the emotions and thoughts of viewers in a unique way. Through the act of appreciation, people are nourished both mentally and intellectually. Art, as a treasure of human culture, embodies endless wisdom and creativity. It is not only a symbol of beauty but also a resonance in the depths of the human spirit.
