About the Item
Artist Sandra Batoni was born in Florence, Italy in 1953. Intrigued by art, she began painting at the age of fourteen. In 1973 she began to attend the studio of painter Emanuele Cavalli, one of the founders of the “Scuola Romana” (Roman School). Later she became his assistant at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
Her artistic nature has always moved through the figurative sphere. Batoni has especially been attracted by the Italian school of the 20th century. Her artwork is often compared to the Masters of this period. Another similarity is that she obtained a degree in architecture from the University of Florence in 1982.
The most common subject for Batoni to depict is interiors with figures. In these very minimalist paintings the characters are often set in a dramatically lit room with various pieces of furniture. In these private spaces the viewer finds the mysterious figure of a child or a young woman deeply absorbed in thought. When gazing at the canvas trying to decipher what these figures are thinking about, one may feel like an intruder into their serene world, curiously trying not to disturb their silence.
Throughout all of Sandra Batoni’s paintings the influence of her Master, Cavalli, is very evident, especially with the palette of colors she chooses. These compositions are rich in the warmest of hues, particularly in the flowers and fruit. With a Roman artistic tradition, Batoni mainly focuses her vision on the study of the relationship between light and dark. To her, it is an everlasting tension to catch, own and dominate the duality of these effects. She creates an atmosphere of suspended time where memory can live in the present. Light is not used to brighten up the scene, but rather, is the basic foundation of the work of art.
Within her still lifes Batoni carefully renders everyday objects: embroidered tablecloths, porcelain pieces, jugs, bottles and glasses, along with various fruit, each appearing in realistic detail. The background space is minimized in order to focus in on the essential subject chosen.

- "Still Life with Architectural Columns and Pear" by Leon Olmo 31 x 52 inchesBy Leon OlmoLocated in Atlanta, GAItem is in excellent condition and has only been displayed in a gallery setting. With frame dimensions are approximately 44" x 64" Leon Olmo was born in Moron de la Frontera at the end of the 1940's beginning at a young age to study drawing and wax technique. From heightened stimulation incredible still-lifes are produced from the nearby aromas of lemons, jasmine, pomegranates, and medlars, fruits which often appear throughout his paintings. Olmo is a self-taught painter, reaching the status as one of Seville’s most talented artists through strict perseverance in drawing and painting. Working until complete exhaustion, Olmo attempts to capture all of himself with every image he creates. For Olmo, neatness and cleanliness go hand in hand when creating a work of art. Though he denies traditional academicism, Olmo does utilize a methodical approach in each painting that begins with strict preparation of the fibrapan board upon which he paints. Beginning with a primer composed of calcium sulfate and glue, he sands the board’s surface until smooth. This regimented routine is in accord with Olmo’s insistence of maintaining neatness and cleanliness for he has rejected the use of canvas where any imperfection is not up to standard. He then picks juicy fresh fruits from their trees and retrieves wooden boards from a collection that he has acquired over the years during walks with his father. Arranging the objects for the desired effect, the outcome will be a play of shadows between the background and brilliant center of the composition. With the brush he draws simple motifs and leaves layers of paint until he achieves a magic luminosity, where the observer can actually see through space, a transparent quality distinctly from the hand of Olmo. The recreation of natural elements in his paintings is to remind the observer of humanity’s material nature. The symbolic use of jasmine is special to the artist, in order to represent the grandeur of small things, six petals with an incredible scent which contain within them the magic of the artist and of his Andalusian land. Olmo’s dreamlike masterpieces contain human warmth that has an unsurpassable way of working their way into the hearts and minds of his collectors. Leon Olmo and his son Leon Reina make up a father and son painting...Category

And it was a world worth of being acquainted with. Every journey to beautiful worlds, every journey back to past or into non-existence is a hard and dangerous travel.

Jewish and non-Jewish towns that are long gone from our landscapes. And if they are, they ache like tooth gap or a soil burned out to the stone.
