LOVE IS ENOUGH

POETRY THREADED WITH LOVE

WITH A FOREWORD BY FLORENCE WELCH

In Love is Enough, Andrea Zanatelli combines his artworks with a selection of classical love poetry by Anne Brontë, William Blake, Christina Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, Percy Shelley and many more. The book is blessed with an introduction by Andrea's kindred spirit and fellow heart fanatic, Florence Welch. It is published by Michael O’Mara Books in UK and Europe and by Andrews McMeel in US and Canada.

Drawing its inspiration from the past, Love is Enough references the decorative arts of a bygone era, and it is a combination of romantic imagery, antique fabrics and allegorical illustrations, mixed with poems and mottos. Often mistaken for real embroidery pieces, Andrea’s artworks are in fact very detailed and intricate digital collages, made to look and feel like handcrafted works.

Zanatelli is strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the Pre-Raphaelites as well as eighteenth-century collage artist and creator of the Flora Delanica, Mary Delany, among others. Recurring themes in his work are romantic love, magical symbols, Victorian era craftsmanship, historical nun’s work and relics. Details of paintings, ancient fabrics, antique jewellery and miniatures are also returning elements as they often become an integral part of the inspiration for the collages themselves.
