last name from first name)


Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA

(order generally used in Britain and Canada )



penname: Bernadette K. Pisapia, Kam Fu Pisapia, Lee-Pisapia Kam Fu Bernadette






Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher

the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two

formats:

LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.

( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

with Padre Gianni in Dec 1983, Hong Kong

with Don Italo. Mazzano Romano, Oct 2023


videos Per Padre Gianni can be viewed on my other website:www.bernadetteleepisapia.it especially realised by Bernadette for the family of Padre Gianni in Mazzano Romano and Capranica, Italy, thanking them for their hospitality

it was my constant idea that to be able to live my student period in Italy ( at that time I had thought of staying only temporary ) in a meaningful way, I needed to contribute as a person who brought with me a different set of cultural values, traditions to the art ambience there. So I dedcided to agree with Prof.Manfredi not to pursue his other means of expressions, the western printmaking technique which he was an expert: acqua forte , dry point etc. who he inherited directly from Morandi. As a student who had just finished postgraduate studies in Scotland, I treated my stay in Florence as a wonderful period to experience the ambience, singularly to someone who grew up in a then already high tech environment ( Hong Kong ), hence I never even thought of taking exams at the Academy there. But after one year I was surprised to find out that one was not allowed to be registered as an auditing student, and was obliged to take the exams if one were to continue. I did continue and at the end of another four years, I finished the program with the thesis on Marcel Duchamp and Zen- that, also,was my constant belief of how I could contribute my eastern cultural understanding to the western cultural refined world of Art. But that period of stay prolonged itself - and thirty three years have passed after I enrolled myself at the Academy of Florence in 1983, September
