It is located Krossener Strasse 36 in Berlin Friedrichshain.

Michele Tombolini was born in Venice in 1963, where he attended an art school and opened nude drawing classes. In the works of Tombolini, painting has always occupied an important place since painting since his youth.

The works he produces are in large formats, almost trying to contain the vital energy and the inner impulse that create, in contact with the surrounding reality. From 2012 to today, Tombolini has focused on the exploration of performance languages, installations and sculptures, with the same overall goal: to expand the boundaries of perception to three-dimensional.

For over twenty years, he has exhibited in Europe, the United States and Asia. In 2013, he was invited to exhibit at the Palazzo Bembo "Personal Structures" on the occasion of the 55th Venice Biennale.

In 2014, he created a large installation of murals in the center of Berlin, creating a significant "interactive" augmented reality.

The Work

"Michelle Tombolini's Butterfly Wall in Friedrichshain, part of the artist's Indelible Marks project, is a beautiful piece of street art with a message - drawing attention to the issue of sexual exploitation of children.

Walking along Boxhagener Strasse, the bright blue wings catch my eye first, with a polka dot dress, then I notice the cross covering her mouth.

"Butterfly" can not speak and she restrains her emotions, putting at stake her freedom. However, despite censorship and fear, it will not lose the vital force. And they concretely will do that through augmented reality.

The Wall Butterfly is made of the most poignant by its placement, next to the Zille-Grundschule, a local primary school.

Tombolini created the mural in September 2015 in co-operation with ECPAT, an international non-governmental organization network dedicated to the fight against the sexual exploitation of children. "

Elle est située Krossener Strasse 36 à Berlin Friedrichshain.

Michele Tombolini est né à Venise en 1963, où il a fréquenté une école d'art et ouvert des cours de dessin nu. Dans les œuvres de Tombolini, la peinture a toujours occupé une place importante depuis qu'il peint depuis sa jeunesse.

Les œuvres qu'il produit sont dans de grands formats, essayant presque de contenir l'énergie vitale et l'impulsion intérieure qui créent, au contact de la réalité environnante. De 2012 à aujourd'hui, Tombolini s'est concentré sur l'exploration des langages de la performance, des installations et des sculptures, dans le même objectif global: élargir les limites de la perception vers le tridimensionnel.

Depuis plus de vingt ans, il expose à la fois en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Asie. En 2013, il a été invité à exposer au Palazzo Bembo «Personal Structures» à l'occasion de la 55e Biennale de Venise.

En 2014, il a créé une grande installation de peintures murales dans le centre de Berlin, créant une importante réalité augmentée «interactive».

L'Oeuvre

" Michelle Tombolini’s Butterfly mural in Friedrichshain, part of the artist’s Indelible Marks project, is a beautiful piece of street art with a sad message – drawing attention as it does to the issue of the sexual exploitation of children.

Walking along Boxhagener Strasse, the bright blue wings catch my eye first, contrasting with the black and white image of the young girl with a polka dot dress, then I notice the cross covering her mouth.

“Butterfly” cannot speak and she restrains her emotions, putting at stake her freedom. However, despite censorship and fear, her soul will not lose the vital force and her wings will return to flutter. And they concretely will do that through augmented reality.

The Butterfly mural is made all the more poignant by its placement, next to the Zille-Grundschule, a local primary school.

Tombolini created the mural in September 2015 in co-operation with ECPAT, an international Non-Government Organisation network dedicated to the fight against the sexual exploitation of children. "
