« The overpowering need to tell you,
to see you, to hold you
within the magmatic warmth of your beauty.
The delicate longing for your voice.
The longing for your image. »

Each day Adriana paints volcanos. She explores their craters to uncover the mystery they hold within. But behind her passion hides a great sorrow that she struggles with daily. Her visits to the slopes of Vesuvius are her way of keeping open an uninterrupted dialogue.
