{"product_id":"antonietta-corsini-hibiscus","title":"Antonietta Corsini - Hibiscus","description":"\u003cp\u003e Flowers as a subject in themselves begin to appear within the “natures\u003cbr\u003e\n death”, a genre that saw the light at the beginning of the 17th century. Later\u003cbr\u003e\n the attention of painters to the floral world, especially with the Impressionists,\u003cbr\u003e\n is becoming increasingly important, as it is an extraordinary opportunity to capture\u003cbr\u003e\n chromatic and luminous vibrations. Thus the flowers begin to appear not\u003cbr\u003e\n not only in pots, but also immersed in their natural landscape. If at the beginning\u003cbr\u003e \nof its history was a pretext for painters to try their hand at a reproduction\u003cbr\u003e\n photographic reality, with contemporary art the subject of flowers becomes\u003cbr\u003e\n also a way of interpreting reality. Even the subject of the vase of flowers is\u003cbr\u003e\n quite recurrent in Antonietta Corsini's production, as an extraordinary opportunity for naturalistic rendering and precious color harmonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The painter Antonietta Corsini has succeeded in bringing the watercolour technique to\u003cbr\u003e\n highest peaks of formal perfection. In his work, in fact, the precision of\u003cbr\u003e\n a naturalistic rendering that is extremely faithful to the sensitive data is combined with lightness\u003cbr\u003e\n typical of diluted color. We can also appreciate it in his series\u003cbr\u003e\n dedicated to flowers, where the use of watercolour is so refined that it only gives back\u003cbr\u003e\n through an elegant play of colours, the shape of the flowers and the plasticity of the\u003cbr\u003e\n vases. The coexistence of different elements in a small space allows\u003cbr\u003e \nto the artist to make the most of the aesthetic peculiarities of the dilution of the\u003cbr\u003e\n color. And so the floral composition resolves itself in a light play of\u003cbr\u003e\n glazes, of semi-transparent harmonies, of tones on tones in a whole\u003cbr\u003e\n kaleidoscopic and full of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Antonietta Corsini was born in Rimini, where she lives and works. She graduated in Painting.\u003cbr\u003e\n at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, he began to exhibit his works at\u003cbr\u003e\n starting from the 90s. Since his first solo and group exhibitions, the artist\u003cbr\u003e\n creates essential and evocative images that address, in a careful and\u003cbr\u003e\n sensitive, the themes of family affections, everyday life and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\n In the 90s he created a series of Mater that celebrate the theme of\u003cbr\u003e\n motherhood, female generativity and the unique and sacred relationship that binds\u003cbr\u003e\n Mother and son. Specialist in ancient painting techniques, she collaborates exclusively with\u003cbr\u003e\n from 1999 to 2004 with Edizioni Musei Vaticani for the reproduction of some\u003cbr\u003e \nmasterpieces kept in the Vatican Pinacoteca. Corsini thus began to favor\u003cbr\u003e\n techniques from a distant past, focusing on research and\u003cbr\u003e\n recovery of procedures derived from ancient treatises, with the aim of evoking\u003cbr\u003e\n suggestive atmospheres and to obtain unique pictorial effects. In particular, the works\u003cbr\u003e\n on wood and parchment they resume the use of egg tempera on the background\u003cbr\u003e\n gilded according to the dictates of tradition. Since 2008, he has been experimenting with art\u003cbr\u003e\n sacred through works of religious subject and artistic and decorative interventions in\u003cbr\u003e\n modern places of worship which are characterised by their vitality and modernity\u003cbr\u003e\n Christian message, interpreted by the artist in the light of his profound\u003cbr\u003e\n spirituality. In parallel with his personal activity, since 2006 he has been holding courses in\u003cbr\u003e\n Painting Techniques of the Rimini School of the 14th Century at the Rimini Museum\u003cbr\u003e\n and carries out educational workshops in various schools, as well as moments of\u003cbr\u003e \ntraining for art teachers. The museum experience inspires\u003cbr\u003e\n also the author's research who, through a subtle conceptual operation, begins to transform her subjects, mostly portraits, into icons\u003cbr\u003e\n contemporary \"classics\". The museum is therefore not only for the artist\u003cbr\u003e\n as a place of contemplation and knowledge, but also a source of inspiration\u003cbr\u003e\n creative thanks to the ever-present lessons of the great Masters of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\n Today Corsini is engaged in an increasingly in-depth investigation\u003cbr\u003e\n on the invisible that hides in the visible, through the use of brushstrokes\u003cbr\u003e\n expressive and bright and transparent color overlays, in order to\u003cbr\u003e\n recreate a new dimension evoked by rarefied and spiritual atmospheres.\u003cbr\u003e\n Thus the private intimate sphere becomes universal and the representation\u003cbr\u003e\n of everything the artist loves – dear faces and presences that accompany him in the\u003cbr\u003e\n everyday life – acquires a “different” meaning while the narration, from personal,\u003cbr\u003e \nbecomes everyone's. The latest works, inspired by the tradition of the great watercolorists\u003cbr\u003e\n English, focus on the theme of love for nature and the desire for\u003cbr\u003e\n to grasp with a gaze full of amazement the extraordinary that lies hidden\u003cbr\u003e\n in the ordinary. During and after the lockdown, he organizes online workshops of various\u003cbr\u003e\n painting techniques for private individuals, schools and associations, both in Italy and abroad\u003cbr\u003e\n United States, combining them with museum workshops and intense educational activities\u003cbr\u003e\n for schools of all levels. Antonietta Corsini's works are\u003cbr\u003e\n preserved in public and private spaces in Italy and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corsini Antonietta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218391839106,"sku":"ACOR006","price":1488.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/HIBISCUS-scaled.jpg?v=1768473228","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/antonietta-corsini-hibiscus","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
