The painting features a striking abstract composition of geometric shapes and bold colors. The dominant forms include a dark, angular shape resembling a guitar and various rectangular and curved structures in shades of pink, gray, and blue. The overall style evokes a sense of modernist architectural design, with a focus on minimalist forms and contrasting tones. The artist seems to explore the interplay between positive and negative space, as well as the relationship between abstraction and representation. This avant-garde piece likely reflects the artist's intention to challenge traditional notions of subject matter and push the boundaries of visual expression in contemporary art. ...
Drawing on a self-invented visual language shaped by synesthesia—the perception of letters and numbers as colors—Matea Perrotta investigates themes of desire, duality, and the subconscious. Trained in classical painting and drawing, she transforms figurative subjects, often the female form, into biomorphic abstractions where curves, voids, and compressed spaces evoke vulnerability and strength. Her compositions balance masculine and feminine energies, using texture, color, and line to suggest a sensorial, bodily presence without direct representation. Perrotta’s work is informed by her immersion in diverse cultural contexts. In Morocco, she developed natural pigments from earth and minerals, translating her painted forms into hand‑woven, hand‑dyed textiles created in collaboration with local women. These functional rugs extend her paintings into tactile, everyday objects, challenging hierarchies between fine art and craft. Across the media, she treats abstraction as a coded language—part intimate confession, part universal symbol—through which emotion and memory are embedded in color relationships and material surfaces. Her paintings and textiles invite slow, physical engagement, prompting viewers to navigate a space between recognition and ambiguity, where form resists fixation and meaning is felt as much as it is seen. ...
