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.

View AllBirth of Light - Abstract Gestural Oil Painting with Orange and Yellow Colors
By Ruggero Vanni
Located in New York, NY
Ruggero Vanni's Birth of Light is a 60 x 48 inch abstract gestural oil painting. It is an abstract landscape of vigorous brushstrokes and light, with a strong luminous central focus. The main colors are orange, yellow, and rust. There are clear references to the masters of the Hudson River School, also known as Luminism, as well as the Romantic paintings of English artist William Turner.
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.

Presagio - Earth Tone Abstract Painting, South American, Geometric and Organic
By Alfredo Aya
Located in New York, NY
This vibrant abstract painting features a dynamic blend of earthy oranges, golds, and soft blues, with organic shapes that seem to emerge and dissolve across the canvas. The composition evokes a sense of movement and spontaneity, making it a perfect statement piece for a contemporary living room or office space. The artist’s use of color creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the fluid shapes add energy and intrigue to the environment.
Titled "Presagio", meaning “omen” in Spanish, the painting invites contemplation. The shifting forms and colors suggest a moment of transition or revelation, making it ideal for spaces that foster thought and reflection. The abstract nature of the work draws comparisons to the vibrant, geometric compositions of Carlos Rojas...
