About the Item
Ruggero Vanni's Conflictio Confluens II (Convergence of Conflicts in Latin) is a 46.5 x 52 inch abstract gestural oil painting. It is a landscape of colors and light, with a strong accent on the chiaroscuro effect. The vibrant and intense brush strokes of rust, orange and purple colors shape an emotional yet calibrated composition. Earth, air, fire and water seems to create a swirling battle of elements. The work reverberates a glowing inner light that certainly has references in the masters of the Hudson River School also known as Luminism.
Vanni states, "My works allude to natural phenomena, in a raw state, devoid of the limiting constrictions of literal representation. Nature is there, as a landscape, a view looking up in the air, or plunging down underwater. Imagery kept on the edge of recognition, so the final association is created in the mind.
Contrasts of matter, color, light, are created to provoke emotional responses. In the large paintings the atmospheric composition is built by raised brushstrokes shattered and reassembled to reveal an underlying struggle. In the smaller works paper is cast tumultuously as a counterpoint to its inherent frailness.
References to the history of painting are multiple and mixed: Venetian impasto and glazing, Luminist light, Abstract Expressionist texture, Baroque perspective.
It is important to avoid mannerism, metabolize the suggestions and integrate them with empirical visual stimuli.
Dissecting responses to everyday experiences into light, color, matter. There is no intent to escape reality, but to create a visual experience that communicates directly with our psyche; open to be reinterpreted continuously through our own evolution and the changing times."
Ruggero Vanni was born in Paris. He studied painting from 1973 to 1978 at the Istituto d’Arte in Rome, Italy, under the guidance of Italian artist Michelangelo Conte, with an emphasis on fresco and artwork conceived as a part of the architectural context.
In 1979 he moved to New York to study art at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1982. While at Cooper Union, the courses of Erwin Rubin, a former student of Josef Albers, was essential in defining Vanni’s interest for colors as the founding elements of his work.
Vanni lives and works in New York City, where he has his studio. He also spends a period of the year working in Italy and Greece. His work has been exhibited in Italy and the United States and is included in public collections of museums and institutions.

Vitrales al Alba - Blue and Aqua Abstract Painting, South American Lyrical Art
By Alfredo Aya
Located in New York, NY
This stunning abstract piece captures the essence of dawn with its ethereal blue and aqua tones. The vertical composition and soft transitions of light evoke the effect of stained glass illuminated by morning sunlight, adding a tranquil atmosphere to any space. The delicate blending of shapes and colors creates a sense of harmony and balance, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or contemporary interiors that seek to evoke calm and reflection. Inspired by the artist’s belief that “form and movement emerge from color,” this work offers both visual depth and serene movement.
Drawing parallels to lyrical abstraction, this painting shares an affinity with South American modernism, while offering a dynamic interplay of light and form that invites contemplation. Its fluid lines and luminous color palette make it versatile for a variety of design styles, adding both elegance and vibrancy to spaces.
Aya was born in Paris in 1954 and after studying in Paris and Switzerland he moved to Colombia in his late teens. He lives and works in Bogota'.
