{"product_id":"antonietta-corsini-ophelia","title":"Antonietta Corsini - Ophelia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work can be included in the large production dedicated by\u003cbr\u003e\n Antonietta Corsini to the female figure, immersed in a nature with distinctive features\u003cbr\u003e\n poetic. But where this type of subject was inspired by small pieces of\u003cbr\u003e\n everyday life, in the case of this work the theme is suggested by a cultured\u003cbr\u003e\n literary and artistic quotation at the same time. The figure of the body without\u003cbr\u003e\n Ophelia's life, floating on the surface of the water, as well as referring\u003cbr\u003e\n to Shakespeare's Hamlet, it refers to a very famous work by\u003cbr\u003e\n Pre-Raphaelite John Everett Millais. The cultured quotation, thus, allows us to give\u003cbr\u003e\n further emphasis on the symbolist aspects of Antonietta's pictorial style\u003cbr\u003e\n Corsini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The artist Antonietta Corsini is also specialized in the production of\u003cbr\u003e\n watercolor, and he was able to interpret this technique by enhancing its\u003cbr\u003e\n features in a vision with modern and original features. Even in the\u003cbr\u003e\n literary quote, of symbolist taste, the painter starts from reality and\u003cbr\u003e \ntransfigures in the intense expressionism of his watercolor technique.\u003cbr\u003e\n reality thus becomes a total pictorial vibration with decidedly distinctive connotations\u003cbr\u003e\n existential, the result of an exercise of pure perception by the artist. From\u003cbr\u003e\n formally speaking, all this is explained by taking it to its maximum consequences\u003cbr\u003e\n the expressive potential of diluted color. The refined sensitivity of\u003cbr\u003e\n Antonietta Corsini expresses herself in recording the action of light on things, but\u003cbr\u003e\n This exercise is carried out with a strong poetic sense that conforms the\u003cbr\u003e\n representation of sensory data. Thus the light almost dissolves the objects,\u003cbr\u003e\n transferring them into the timeless dimension of memory. Light and color\u003cbr\u003e\n they act in unison and this means enhancing the art of watercolour in a\u003cbr\u003e\n coherent representation that maintains its connection with reality, but the\u003cbr\u003e\n transfers into a highly lyrical dimension.\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 \nat 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\n masterpieces 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 \non 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 conducts educational workshops in various schools, as well as training sessions for art teachers. The museum experience inspires\u003cbr\u003e\n also the author's research which, through a subtle operation\u003cbr\u003e\n conceptual, begins to transform his 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 \ncreative 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\n becomes 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 \nUnited 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":56218392101250,"sku":"ACOR009","price":1068.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/OPHELIA-scaled.jpg?v=1768473229","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/antonietta-corsini-ophelia","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
