Arlette Stella Art

b. 1961

Arlette Stella is an abstract painter with occasional work that expresses surrealism.  She is self-taught, late-blooming and unstoppable. Her work is characterized by bold colors, since she is mainly color-blind and needs bold colors to see the work. Arlette’s philosophical nature is the basis for her work. Every work is the result of a conversation she has had with canvas, paints and colors. 

Each work aims to incur, inspire, and maybe even nudge (kick you in the yeah-butt!) the viewer to experience and act on kindness. Arlette states clearly: Kindness is my brand! 

Arlette Stella is an artist member of the San Diego Artist Guild of the San Diego Museum and of the Artist Guild of Palm Springs/Palm Desert, among other artist groups.

Seams on Blue - Acrylic Painting by Mario Bigetti - 2020
By Mario Bigetti
Located in Roma, IT
Seams on Blue is an original artwork realized by the Italian contemporary artist Mario Bigetti in 2020. Mixed media: acrylic painting on canvas, twine, and seams. Hand-signed and dated on the back. A minimal wood frame is included 54.5 x 3 x 64 cm Good conditions. This original painting is realized with blue acrylic paint on canvas and presents four cuts on its surface. The painting consists in only one homogeneous vivid color. The cuts are mended with twine, like stitches do for healing wounds. The artist was certainly inspired by the great Italian artist Lucio Fontana, whom created the concept of Spatialism and came up with the idea of space inside a flat surface like the one for painting. Mario Bigetti, a Roman contemporary...
