MY NAME IS LISA LOUIS FRATANI. MI ANGEL MI DEMON I TOOK SHAPE IN PARIS IN 96. WHEN I WAS THREE, MY FAMILY MOVED FOR NINE YEARS TO SPAIN WHERE I GREW UP IN THE SPANISH STYLE, SURROUNDED BY SUNNY LAUGHS, TAPAS, SHOWERS ON TERRACES WITH GARDEN HOSES … IN SHORT WE HAD NO MONEY, BUT I REMEMBER HIS YEARS AS IN PARADISE. WHEN I WAS ELEVEN, WE RETURNED TO FRANCE, WHERE WE STAYED. OUR FAMILY HAVING BATHED MY BROTHER AND I IN MUSIC, DANCE AND SPORTS SINCE OUR CHILDHOOD, I DISCOVERED AN ARTISTIC SIDE VERY EARLY ON. I WAS AND STILL AM A FIREBALL IF I MAY SAY SO … VERY DYNAMIC AND ENERGETIC, AND WITH THE CHARACTER OF A PIG AS THEY SAY … DRAWING, PLAYING THE CELLO, SINGING, MODELING WERE QUICKLY ENOUGH VITAL FOR ME . I REMEMBER THE CRISES THAT I COULD INFLICT ON MY MOTHER WHEN, WHEN THE PAPER WAS GONE, THE WALLS YES THEY WERE …! BECOMING A MODEL HAS NEVER BEEN IN MY SIGHTS, BUT IT IS STRANGE AS IT SEEMS LIKE A NO-BRAINER WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT. FROM PLASTICINE, TO POTTERY, TO END UP MODELING MYSELF. TODAY I ADMIT TO BEING MORE AND MORE ATTRACTED BY VIDEO, CINEMA. IT’S A LITTLE MORE DIFFERENT THAN A FIGHTER PILOT, CONDUCTOR, OR ASTRONAUT … BUT HEY … AS ALBERT CAMUS WOULD SAY: “THE DIFFERENCE IS NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD, IT IS SIMPLY THE COURAGE TO BE YOURSELF”.

I THINK THAT LIFE WITH A CAPITAL V IS MAGIC, LIFE IN ALL ITS SHAPES AND COLORS … IT’S MORE THAN MAGNIFICENT. I LIKE TO THINK THAT LIFE IS THE FRUIT OF NATURE, NATURE IN ALL ITS DEFINITIONS, AND I FIND IT MAGNIFICENT WHEN LIFE, DURING ITS LIFETIME, REMAINS FAITHFUL TO ITS VERY ESSENCE, REMAINING NATURAL. IT IS MAGNIFICENT … AND THE GREATEST OF RICHES. AND IT IS ALL THE MORE BEAUTIFUL IF WE THINK THAT WE ARE ALL 1 WITH AND ESPECIALLY THANKS TO THE DIVERSITY OF THIS WORLD OF WHICH WE ARE A PART. I FIND MAGNIFICENT: THE BALANCE, THE SENSES & THE ESSENCE, THE VIBRATIONS AND THE MUSIC & THE SILENCE AND THE ORCHESTRAS, THE CHOICES, THE DIRECTIONS, THE MATERIALS AND MATERIALS, THE STRENGTHS & THE FRAGILITIES, THE FIRMNESS AND THE OPENINGS, THE ENERGIES THE NUANCES OF THE COLORS AND THE RAINBOW IN ITS TOTALITY, THE BODIES AND THE SPIRITS, THE WHITE, THE BLACK KNOWING THAT ONE GOES NOWHERE WITHOUT THE OTHER AND HOWEVER FAR THEY ARE IN THE SCALE COLORS THEY ARE A POINT OF DEPARTURE AND A DESTINATION ON THIS SCALE, THIS RAIL THAT IS LIFE. I FIND THAT THE EYES ARE MAGICAL, THE FLOWERS THAT LOOK AT US, THE TREES, WHICH LOOK LIKE US, SUBLIME, THE THUNDERSTORMS, HURRICANES, TSUNAMIS (AS BEAUTIFUL AS LAKES, RAINBOWS AND PASSING CLOUDS …) ASTOUNDING. .! ARE THEY NOT THE EXISTENTIAL CRISES OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SPHERE WHICH SHELTERS US ALL? I FIND SEIZURES, IN ANY FORM AND AS FRIGHTENING AS THEY ARE, MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL. ITS SAME MANIFESTATIONS OF EMOTIONS THAT OVERFLOW … WITH LIFE. LIFE AREN’T LIVES SUBLIME? THEY ARE JOURNEYS. AND BESIDES, THEY FEED. I FIND HELL AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN BECAUSE THE TWO COEXIST DAY AND NIGHT … LIKE YIN DOES WITH YANG AND YANG DOES WITH YIN. I FIND THE WORD MAGNIFICENT MAGNIFICENT.
