Donatella VIOLI
Beatrice e Linferno

About the Item

Donatella Violi was born in Ovada (AL), moved to Milan and subsequently to Reggio Emilia. As she was taking lessons at the Institute of Science, she was taking courses engraving painting and art history. In 1983 she began her career as an artist, participating in competitions and exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Germany, Japan, Switzerland). Attracted by the world that surrounds her, she looks at it and reproduces it through a personal “alphabet of colors”, acquired by the attendance of the studio of the master Homer Ettorre. As written by Aurora Marzi, « The fascinating theme of the trip is always present in the life and works of Donatella Violi, as inner journey, as autobiographical path: the birth in Ovada in Piedmont, her childhood in Milan, youth in Reggio Emilia and, followed by an immersion in geographical realities so different, the Amazon, Turkey, Scotland, America … Each trip is transformed into an intimate path of sounds, images and emotions, a diary “on board”that she notes meticulously on canvas, saturating them with intense colors, ” scratched” by a strong and incisive sign » (Itineris and Calvino Invisible Cities, 2012)

    For Julia Kiryanova, painting is a dialogue – a dialogue which she beautifully facilitates, layering her work with various techniques. At the heart of much of her work an inherent fascination for people lies, intimately displaying abandoned figures seemingly floating in an abstract dream world, where time has stopped everything, but them. Julia Kiryanova has exhibited work at Amsterdam museum, Museum Op Solder and The Holocaust Museum...

  • Hidden, 2020, oil on canvas, figurative painting
    Located in Izmir, TR
    In several mystical traditions, there are common elements that are needed for spiritual metamorphosis and transitions to another, transcendent dimension. In Sufism, there is also an inner dimension to the law that has to do with repentance, the abasement of desire, and discipline of the self, or the elimination of the ego. Transparent figures emphasize the inner world of pure innocence which is the prototype human being, pure consciousness, one's true identity, to be contrasted with the material human who is bound by one's senses and materialism. Materialism is shown by also patterns in the paintings. The two different layers are against each other in a contradictory way. Feeling the need to go deeper into this inner, imaginative world, I began to set artworks from the past in less familiar contexts such as seas or patterns and combine the figure with them where they seemed to become like elements in some greater dream. With her small paper works, Ece Gauer...
