Annamaria Santelli - Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

In this painting, painter Annamaria Santelli exerts a true process of synthesis on the subject. This process is achieved entirely through color, reaching extremely effective heights of expressiveness. It is the dense brushstrokes that construct the figure in a depiction composed entirely of pure color tones. Thus, the subject almost shines with its own light, standing out against the dark hues of the background.

Annamaria Santelli is a Tuscan painter originally from Lastra a Signa. She has absorbed much of 20th-century painting and reworked it into her own unique style. Her work is oriented toward a color expressionism.
