This abstract artwork features a striking contrast between the dark, bold background and the bright, geometric shapes in the foreground. The composition consists of a rectangular central panel, divided into two distinct sections. The left side is painted in a vibrant green tone, while the right side displays a warm, golden yellow hue. These bold colors, coupled with the sharp, angular forms, create a dynamic and visually striking image. The artist's use of expressive brushstrokes and a minimalist approach suggests a focus on form, color, and the interplay of shapes, characteristic of abstract expressionist painting. The overall aesthetic suggests a playful exploration of the tension between simplicity and complexity, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork's underlying conceptual layers. ...
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. ...
