This abstract landscape painting features a vibrant composition of bold, geometric shapes and contrasting colors. The canvas is dominated by a large, dark blue mass that cuts across the center, evoking a rugged, mountainous terrain. Surrounding this central form are angular shapes in warm hues of orange and brown, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall style and technique suggest a modern, expressionist approach, with the artist's brushstrokes and palette knife work visible on the surface. This artwork likely reflects the artist's personal interpretation of the natural world and their emotional response to the landscape. ...
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. ...
