The Art of "The Bite" - An Art Contest Capturing the Essence of Venexia

Gioia Selvaggia, leader of the Cuore Prezioso (Precious Heart)  Community of the Borghesia, was inspired to launch the recent art competition, 'The Bite', to emphasize the feeling behind the most important aspect of life in Venexia, as Gioia explains it "All of the 'chosen' know there are so many ways to 'bite' a human.  As a Borghesia, I have lived to experience first hand the variations in the delivery of 'the bite'.  I know that feeing of anxiety and anticipation when you will soon be bitten.  It's very stressful.  Through this competition, I want to give Venexians, both human and  the 'chosen',  the opportunity to portray those feelings from each of their perspectives in an art form, essentially images of the different methods of delivering a 'bite', be it sensual, sexual, violent, aggressive, intense, shocking, sweet, electric, and so much more."

Gioia is fully expecting to see a lot of creative interpreations of 'The Bite'.  When asked if a nude interpertation would be acceptable, she laughed and commented "Well that would depend on the scene the artist wants to portray.  If the image is that of a sensual 'bite' , there certainly could be an element of nudity to that and that would be acceptable."  

Gioia painted a stirring portrait of a 'bite' using herself as model along with Signore Zarek, who happily volunteered.  Speaking of the 'sitting' for that painting, Gioia reflected with a coy smile, "I think it was  not easy for him to have his fangs so close to my neck without  biting."

With the deadline of January 8th coming up, Gioia encourages the artists of Venexia to participate in this contest, with a small fee of 25 coins with their submission.  to submit an art work,

 please see Gioia, Nena or Zarek.

All art work submitted will be published according to Gioia "the works will be published on the newspaper of my family, Cuore Prezioso ((http://cuoreprezioso.blogspot.com/)). There are no categories per se but there will be three winners ... lst, 2nd and 3rd place. Ten generous Venexians have contributed to the prize money making it possible to award 4000 coins which will be shared between the three winners".

In closing Gioia wanted to express to Venexia's citizens, "All  Venexians will vote for their favorite paintings, possibly their top three, depending on the number of works I  receive, therefore, the artists will be judged by the entire community.  The prizes are amazing and I do hope many Venexians will participate. 

 I really hope to see a lot of submissions!"
