Silvia De Bastiani
Brenva e Mont Blanc, Watercolor On Paper by Silvia De Bastiani, 2019

2019

About the Item

Italian alpine Brenva e Mont Blanc landscape, 2019 Watercolour on paper, stretched on canvas, inch 44.8 x 63 About the artist, Silvia De Bastiani: she best embodies the values of her homeland, the magnificent Dolomites. She is a skilled watercolourist and hiker, capable of spending hours in front of her subjects, in the muffled silence of the world's most beautiful peaks. The artist has always known the places she represents and knows how to interpret them in the most spectacular light. Unique in her genre, she captivates with the extraordinary talent with which she offers unique, yet truthful Alpine visions. 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's degree in Painting from the Academia di Belle Arti in Venice. Following, in 2007 she obtained her Master's degree in Visual and performing arts and 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, high 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 the protagonist of many solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. In 2020 she won Be Natural Be Wild award, and the Fondazione della Cassa di Risparmio di Biella, sponsored by 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 the protagonist of a solo exhibition scheduled for the next Selvatica festival edition, in 2022, at Gromo Losa palace.

Located in Milan, IT
Drawing size: 50 x 37.5 cm Paper size: 74 x 58 cm Sara Menon was born in 1985 in Palmanova and lives and works in Aquileia, in the province of Udine. She specialized in the restoration of paintings and wooden sculptures in Mantua, a profession she still pursues today, while continuing to experiment with other art forms such as painting, sculpture and illustration. Her passion and activity as a naturalistic and scientific illustrator began in 2002, when she collaborated with medical examiner Gianpiero Ceci, producing a series of anatomical-surgical plates to accompany her publications, mainly related to the field of obstetrics and gynecology. In 2010, through the European Institute of Design in Milan, she had the opportunity to meet and get to know the illustrator Massimo Demma, who allowed her to refine the method and painting techniques used in scientific investigation and the rendering of natural data, as well as further knowledge in the field of naturalistic illustration. She had the opportunity to publish some naturalistic plates for the publishing house Il Prato...

Snowy tree; oil on silver ground canvas. By prominent Italian botanical artist
By Margherita Leoni
Located in Milan, IT
This painting can be displayed both vertically and horizontally. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless silver, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to developed an interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, including the one presented here, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee...
