Marussa Giovinazzo
Marussa Giovinazzo is a curious and multifaceted artist, who experiments in different fields (painting, sculptures, writing and design), using different techniques and expressive languages while maintaining a well-defined and personal stylistic signature. Marussa Giovinazzo’s art is ever-changing, testifying a perpetual quest for her soul, in an infinite space between dream and reality, rational and irrational, oneiric and objectivity, sign of a creativity in turmoil which doesn’t settle nor stop, in constant need to question herself and looking for those underlying meanings, which only a sensitive nature is able to capture and transform through lines and colors. Each of her artworks is open to multiple levels of interpretation, and is able…

Anna Farris
Anna Farris’ art is characterized by a series of paintings following a precise creative and emotional development, forged by the disposition of an artist in a never-ending experimental research. The reflective and intimate look of her work tends towards a dimension both figurative and abstract, imposing itself as a quest for balance and tells her dedication to art and its communicative potential. Each canvas goes beyond the mere descriptive tale: the technique is at the service of the thought, the colours give thickness to the image, the shapes exude vibrations and emotions. The expression of a delicate soul emerges, capable of understanding and interpreting those images from reality that hit…

Maria Rita Onofri
Maria Rita Onofri is a versatile artist, pushed by a never-ending curiosity and will to research. After a career in the goldsmithing sector, she created an original expressive language of essentiality and autonomous narrative. Her everlasting experimental tension takes her to embrace different artistic areas, in order to arrive to a peculiar combination of these and to a purity and communicative essentiality, which represents a structured and articulated professional path. Onofri lives art as an act of freedom, as pure instinct which allows her to totally express herself and to tell what she lives and feels, sublimating visions and feelings through a critical and stylistic tension, where the figurative element…

Manuela Citti
Manuela Citti’s autonomous quest is ever-changing, charged with intention and pathos, defining a well-defined stylistic signature. Her painting is of technical ability, of attentive study of the colour, of expressive knowledge of the chiaro-scuro, of a polished creative language, pushing her to always experiment with new subjects and explore an ever more intimate and private dimension. Loyal to the figurative, Citti starts with a production of religious character, which has its roots in the most noble historical-artistic tradition, whilst never abandoning the will to humanize her characters. Generally, there is always a personal trait in her work, and the always-present will to capture the soul of what she represents. Her…

Candida Paolucci
Candida Paolucci, an artist with a refined compositional style, chooses the figurative in a spontaneous, mature and conscious way. This choice is the result of her innate passion for the modern tradition and for the main artistic movements, which marked the most salient stages of art history. The artist approaches painting at an adult age, driven by a tension which constantly pushes her to question herself on contemporary art’s current trends and on how much of the production falls on formal solutions aiming to indulge an imaginary collective and a standardized taste. Her artworks go against every form of artistic convention or genre, evoking a noble tradition which makes them…

Maurizio Diana
At the core of Maurizio Diana’s production we can find a profound existential reflection, a consistent poetic line, expressing the most intimate essence of each work of art, striving toward a research quest and stylistic innovation. The essence of a precise figuration connotes the artist’s will to direct his painting toward a meditative dimension, animated by emotional vibes which lead the observer to a world of questioning to which it is difficult to give an objective answer. It is in this atmosphere slightly delineated, imaginary and evanescent, that the ever-changing human essence is located. The need to reach a new pictorial technique, the “enlightened figuration”, dynamic and actively interacting with…

Salvo Privitera
Privitera’s painting is of a romantic matrix, a painting stylistically personal combined with a skillful technique, creating monochromes and combinations of colours in a harmonious mix of shades, taking us to a contemplative dimension. The light is hence protagonist of canvases imbued with a sense of peace: these are moments suspended in an infinite time, variations of intimate and spiritual spaces. The artist loves to lose himself in huge landscapes, with the sublime vastness of the Creation, becoming the symbol for reflection and input for a painting charged of intense expression. Nature is the key to understanding and search for introspective aspects of the state of the observer, and the…

Howard Harris
The starting point of Howard Harris’ creative experience is the observation of the world, of what lives and what surrounds him: every image is the mirror of a story, the memory of a state of mind, the result of a visual and experiential association; it is the trace of an experience which retrieves as well a private dimension. The subjects emerge almost spontaneously, supported by atmospheres rendered even more captivating by bright and impactful colours, in a dimension which is able to reach profound levels of awareness through a creative rationale which has its foundations in an unprecedented innovative artistic process. The stratification of the materials in order to create…
