alias

alias

Bernadette Kam Fu LEE ( maiden name)(artist name)


LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette

(order and form ( with a comma in between ) generally used in Hong Kong to distinguish

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)

seeing the scene through the window never seems to ever come the evening of growing dark

amongst the world of men

a house I found

no noise of carriages

no noise of horses

A question raised :

Incredibly impossible

my dear

heart winged

a distance 

flight

silence

spread

my sight

gathering crysanthemum

where

lies the Eastern fence

the blue hills

are within 

reach

At sunset

purity

of air

breathed

Birds

winged

in pairs

return

home

Truth

is 

attained

just

like that

the further

said

the futher

not

to be

said

 ( translated by BKFLee 2016 of poem in the C4th by Tao Chien )

(Italian text on canvas translated by Yan Po Tak, 1993)

paintings inspired by poems and old poems began in 1982 .

Text on canvas in Italian began in 1993

Text veiled with 1 layer in 1996 ( Italian veiled with Chinese text )

Text veiled with three layers in 2000 ( Italian, German and Chinese text )

Text veiled with six layers in 2002 ( English, French, Objiway, German , Italian and Chinese )

veiling

a mysterious act

to adorn

to see

yet not to see

to tell

yet not to tell

to say

but secret kept

such is

the quality

of veiling

a quality

equates to

poetry

an act

dignified

a layer

not

totally

unfold

these layering kind of act

in different languages

sung

with

forgotten tunes

in color text

reassuming

once again

the musical

quality

of painted

text

evanescent

in

mood

but

what mood
