Interview with the performer, writer, singer, composer, designer, and visual artist
Q. Anna Luana Tallarita, your artistic profile seems difficult to define through a single discipline. How would you describe yourself?
A. I consider myself a researcher of the human mind before anything else. Music, writing, painting, design, and performance are different tools through which I observe and interpret reality. Each artistic language allows me to explore and communicate different aspects of the human experience.
Q. You are known as a jazz singer, composer, and performer. What role does music play in your artistic journey?
A. Music is my most immediate language. Through my voice, I seek to transform emotions, reflections, and social observations into a shared experience. Jazz has taught me creative freedom, improvisation, and the ability to listen deeply to others and to the world around me.
Q. Themes of power frequently emerge in your work. Where does this interest come from?
A. It stems from my studies in anthropology and criminology, as well as my curiosity about the mechanisms that shape human behavior. Power is not only about domination; it is also the ability to act, transform reality, and create. It is a force that permeates politics, art, communication, and everyday life.
Q. How do the artist and the scholar coexist within your work?
A. I do not see them as separate identities. Art helps me understand what I study, and research gives depth to my artistic creations. Every book, musical composition, and visual work emerges from this continuous dialogue.
Q. Visual arts and design also play an important role in your creative production.
A. Absolutely. Images possess extraordinary communicative power. Through design and visual art, I explore the relationship between space, symbols, and human presence. These themes constantly reappear in my literary work as well.
Q. What message would you like to convey to your audience?
A. That knowledge is an endless journey. Human beings possess immense creative potential, and every form of art can become a tool for understanding ourselves and the world more deeply.
