VISUAL ABSTRACT ART
SPAZI ATEMPORALI 2022
"Spazi Atemporali" is a new collection, created after the artist went through a pause from painting. During this time, she focused on readings, meditation, analysis of the connection between past and present, and developing an understanding of her personal needs and boundaries that led her to reflect on the concept of time - and what is outside it.
As is her normal practice, the artist focused on the process of her work - not the final result.
"Antro" was created in two stages. She began by painting with a brush, blacking out the entire background of the canvas. Then she used hands, arms, elbows and other body parts, seeing where her subconscious drove her to apply the paint.
SOMNIUM 2021
This artwork is an intuitive continuation of the work the artist began with the 2019 “Square Series”. The collection consists of six 50 x 100 cm canvases, which the artist created using palette knives, pieces of wood and foils. As is her normal practice, she painted through instinct - beginning with a blank canvass and developing the piece without any kind of plan or forethought.
While reading C.G. Jung's "Man and His Symbols", the artist reflected on the relationship of modern humans with their own subconscious - and how the rapid pace of modern life in today's society can sabotage that connection. This project is a manifestation of those musings. The artist examined it after the creation and read the result as a manifestation of these reflections.
The pieces were painted two by together and feature contrasting colors - like black and white, dark and light (colors used in almost all of the artist's works). This duality of bright and shadow is representative of the realm of dreams, when our subconscious attempts to emerge during the night. The translation of the Latin word "SOMNIUM", in fact, is "DREAM". The artist believes that dreams and art are bound together, both representations of how human beings could find connection with the hidden inner self.
EXPERIMENTAL SERIES 2020/2021
The project is a progression of paintings focused on the relationship between unconscious expression and sensory perception - especially tactile and aural.
The series includes abstract works of different sizes created by launching and smearing acrylic colors with the hands and other parts of the body. The artist began this emotional practice instinctively. As a result, she decided to continue experimenting and producing works with large color overlays.
