Last Wednesday, I had the honor to meet the artist Nicholas Carbonaro during the house dinner. We had an enjoyable conversation with some Grf and his friends. We talked about everything but not only art- related. I even  learned that he is also a hair dresser here in Ithaca.

Before I get into the details about our conversation, I talk a bit about this concept of high table. It is very interesting. It gives students the opportunities to talk with grf and professors around a relaxing and nice dinner. I truly enjoyed it. Everyone was so comfortable. It is true that last semester we could still have the opportunity to discuss at the table with grfs but I do not think that it was as easy as with the high table. I will really recommend students to sign up for this high table spots. In addition, they also give credit for the rose scholars.

Regarding my conversation with Nicholas,  we discussed on his work and his inspiration. I confessed that one of the painting was based on all the surgery he got throughout his life. I do not recall exactly the amount of surgery procedures, but I remember that he had several. At the end, we finished by discussing and criticizing movies. As I said, interesting meeting.
