About the Item

"Deep Down" is a 2023 surrealistic oil painting in blue green water and lost bronze Roman artifact. Framed Dimensions: 52.75 x 41 inches In a continuation of the idea that originally inspired her massive "Milky Way" painting, Astone creates figures floating in an ethereal deep sea. Being a native of Italy, Astone is familiar with the constant finding of artifacts and classical art in buried places—like the bottom of the sea. These figures surrounding this mysterious head is perhaps Astone contending with her place as a classical artist in a modern world. However, many of her paintings come from dreams, so perhaps she doesn't quite know yet what she is contending with in this composition.

"The Kiss" 2023, dark figurative oil painting by Daniela Astone
By Daniela Astone
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Part of Daniela Astone's series of figures in different ethereal and surrealistic spaces. "The Kiss" brings to mind Gustav Klimt's famous 1908 painting of the same name but instead of an abstracted gold background, Astone creates a mysterious creature enveloping and suspending the figure in mid-air. The dark monster looks ominous until you notice the nude figure leaning into her partner, her hands lightly caressing or leaning on the the amorphous creature. Her body is relaxed and her eyes closed. As a classical artist who paints the nude figure everyday, Astone is masterful at depicting women at ease in their natural bodies rather than women self-conscious of their nudity—posing but fearful of exploitation at the same time—a theme in art history that continues today. Some of the sweeping strokes of black are inspired by Japanese paintings techniques, and on the lighter areas there are rain drop falling from a blue-grey cloud in the background. 52.8 x 44.9 inches framed Artist Bio Daniela Astone was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1980 and raised in Porto Santo Stefano...
