Silvia De Bastiani Art

Italian, b. 1981
Silvia De Bastiani was born in Feltre (north Italy) in 1981. Currently, she lives and works in the Dolomites area. In 2004, she received her bachelor degree in Painting from the Academia di Belle Arti in Venice. Following, in 2007 she obtained her Master degree in Visual and performing arts graduated from the same institution. Since her graduation she has been part of the teaching staff of both the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, as well as of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Verona. Throughout her career Silvia decided to merge her profound passion and knowledge of the Alps with her artistic talent, thus making the Alps one of the main subjects of her watercolour artworks. Silvia De Bastiani paints most of the time en plein air (even during winter time, cold weather, hight altitude and extreme situations); her artistic originality lies in her ability to depict the captivating alpine region by using brush strokes that, seen up-close, are abstract. Her artworks have been protagonist of many solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. In 2020 she wins Be Natural Be Wild award, and the Fondazione della Cassa di Risparmio di Biella, sponsored of the concour, has acquired her watercolour Pale di San Martino, cm 115 x 161. The agreement of the award includes that the winner will be protagonist of a solo exhibition scheduled for the next Selvatica festival edition, in 2022, at Gromo Losa palace.

Blue & Grey Green Plan: Abstract Geometric Framed Painting in Cool Toned Palette
By Donise English
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract geometric painting with a cool toned palette of green, blue, and grey with accents of black and white against a sea foam green colored acrylic wash background "Blue and Grey Green Plan" made by Hudson Valley artists, Donise English, in 2022 Graphite, colored pencil, and acrylic painting on vellum 24 x 18 inches unframed, 31 x 25 x 1.5 with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and simple black moulding Signed, verso Excellent condition and ready to hang This abstract geometric painting on vellum was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a blue green toned background of acrylic wash. A grid of box-like patterns in sky blue, green, grey, and black with white line work are stacked to create an irregular shape or an "imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on vellum is complemented by a simple black frame with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and wire backing. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang. About the artist: Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. A central checkerboard formation floats over a ground of pastel color or washes of grey or cream. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil. The artist recently retired from her decades career teaching at Marist College and is now devoted full time to her art making. Artist Statement: My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
