«My art comes through me. When I work I put the wax in my hands and I have no idea of what will come through» explains Anne Mimi Sammis, world renowned artist and sculptor whose works can be seen in some three hundred public and private collections worldwide. Mimi, who currently lives and works in Mexico, began her artist career as a painter in the 1970s and took up sculpting in 1981. She has realised a series of beautiful bronzes entitled «One Thousand Years of Peace» manifesting her deeply spiritual awareness and communion with nature. Expressing that «life is a bouquet», her bronzes are powerful images of peace and love in movement making the spirit a reality to the senses and illustrating «The joy... the dance of love, the love between ourselves and others» which keeps coming out in her art. Coinciding with the Hague’s one hundredth anniversary, a selection of her sculptures from «One Thousand Years of Peace» were exhibited during the Hague Appeal for Peace Conference in May this year. Earlier this year Mimi held an exhibition at the United Nations Headquarters in New York: «I feel strongly that love is the healer of everything, and that people coming in contact with love and joy in art raises the consciousness of the world». The message that Anne Mimi Sammis proposes through her art is indeed very powerful and inspiring: a message to all who see it to renew their commitment to seek peace in this world. i.a. |
