Living and drawing through the seasons with Aimee Sicuro
The seasons are a common theme in Aimee Sicuro’s artwork, but natural beauty is only part of the story captured in each of her images. Each scene also captures a feeling, from joy and love, to carefreeness, contentedness and solitude.
“I want to convey at least some sort of understanding and happiness. Some of my pieces convey melancholy, but everybody feels the same thing and we’re all trying to connect through relationships, friendships, and love,” said Sicuro, who added that she is “always trying to figure out a way to improve [herself]. I think the images I make have hopeful messages of being inspired [or are] about meditation and work balance and life balance and deeper issues.”
When dreaming up the scene in “Brooklyn,” the image featured on this issue’s cover, Sicuro she was wandering the streets, “looking around at brownstones, cherry blossoms, and color; I was thinking about how when the weather’s warm and you’re outside reading a book, that’d be a really great way to celebrate being in this neighborhood.”
