Journeying through Rome and Florence, the artists discovered how two people can love and experience the same places in vastly different ways. Brodsky would place herself in a single spot, gazing out at the Trevi Fountain or the lush countryside, and spend hours working in her prized sketchbook. She would take in all the details of her surroundings and translate them into thin layers of oil atop vibrant hues she uses for her underpainting. Using traditional painting techniques from the 16th to 19th centuries, her artwork becomes tiny portholes looking out to historic ruins and city rooftops alike, blending antiquity and modernity in a new realm. Brodsky’s brilliant palette is informed by her first time experiencing Italy as a child. Born in Belarus, Brodsky’s family was one of many that left the country on refugee status in the late 1980s when it was still part of the Soviet Union. Her memories of the gray, block towers of Belarus were in deep contrast with the bucolic hills and beaches of the Italian countryside. Even though this rural part of Italy was only a temporary sanctuary for Brodsky's family, it created a lifelong connection for the artist through her childhood memories of the place that launched her into her new life outside of Belarus. During her trip, Brodsky still saw the mystic quality of Italy, alive in the people and landscape that inspired her collection.
