"La Dolce Vita II" 2023, 60" H x 48" W. Vertical abstract painting consisting of acrylic, pencils, and oil pastels on canvas by Argentine-born artist Karina Gentinetta (featured in Elle Decor, the New York Times, Traditional Home, Veranda Magazine, Luxe Interiors, and most recently in Introspective Magazine). This work is full of energy, color, and childlike innocence. It is bold and spirited and celebrates the beauty of human nature. This work was inspired by Ms. Gentinetta's summer travels to Italy where she experienced the colorful and deep rooted traditions of her ancestral grandparents' home. A vibrant movement in acrylics, pencils and oil pastels in hues of burnt orange, golden yellow, magenta, white, pinks, purple and blue with carbon pencils against a neutral background. Framed in a natural pine wood floater frame. Listing is for "La Dolce Vita II" which can be purchased on its own or with its companion work "La Dolce Vita I", which is listed separately. Karina Gentinetta's vast and audacious canvases are inspired by her home city of New Orleans. A litigator for thirteen years, Gentinetta found herself at a crossroads after losing her family home and the majority of her possessions during Hurricane Katrina. Turning to art and design for solace, the self-taught artist was inspired to leave her law practice to pursue her creative passions in the shocking aftermath of the storm. Redolent of the shattered landscape of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Gentinetta’s paintings evoke the broken frames of flooded homes and the city's devastated infrastructure. Downed telephone lines, random piles of debris and condemned buildings are all present in the thick brushstrokes and intrepid lines that mark each canvas. The artist uses materials that are purposely indicative of construction sites, including wall plaster, varnish and house paint acrylics, imbuing the works with both a subjective symbolism and forceful aesthetic. Using a monochromatic color scale, the Stark paintings juxtapose opposing sentiments including vulnerability and strength, chaos and balance. The bold, abstract compositions speak to a multiplicity of themes including grief and despair, but above all celebrate the triumph of rebirth and hope over loss and devastation. Gentinetta’s works have received national and international recognition and have been featured in such publications as The New York Times, Elle Décor, Luxe, Veranda, Traditional Home and More Magazine among others. Most recently, Gentinetta collaborated with RH Modern...

This pair of paintings (diptychs) are the original studies for two sold works "Deep In Thought I and II" 2021, which were a pair of large vertical abstract paintings (diptych) by Argentine-born artist Karina Gentinetta (featured in Elle Decor, the New York Times, Traditional Home, Veranda Magazine, Luxe Interiors and most recently in Introspective Magazine). These studies are the original constructs that inspired the larger versions. Like the larger works, these small paintings consist of acrylic, pencils, and oil pastels on canvas boards. The studies for "Deep In Thought I and II" are coordinating artworks in rich hues of purples, plums, white and black pencil. The works speak of the beautiful boldness and naive fearlessness of youth which is juxtaposed with the age-acquired wisdom and sophistication of adulthood. Together or alone, each painting explodes with energy and passion. Painted in hues of aubergine, plum, purples, magenta, white and black pencil. The actual works (not framed) measure 14" x 10", vertical orientation. These original studies were professionally framed in Italian-made and hand-carved gilded wood frames...
