{"product_id":"antonietta-corsini-the-flower-of-flowers","title":"Antonietta Corsini - The flower of flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003e The portrait is one of the most widespread artistic expressions in the field especially\u003cbr\u003e\n of painting, but also of sculpture, in all eras. The portrait is, first of all\u003cbr\u003e\n place, a description of the subject represented, an attempt to bring back to\u003cbr\u003e\n his physiognomy and his individual characteristics truthfully and naturally.\u003cbr\u003e \nWith the progressive evolution of artistic research towards physiognomic description\u003cbr\u003e\n of the subject was also accompanied by the psychological one. Therefore the portrait, in\u003cbr\u003e\n centuries, it has also become a means of introspective investigation on the subject, on the\u003cbr\u003e\n his character and his state of mind. They intervened in favor of this type\u003cbr\u003e\n of investigation, the processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art. The painter\u003cbr\u003e\n Antonietta Corsini has focused much of her research on portraiture. In most of her works, the subjects, in the foreground, are characterised by a\u003cbr\u003e\n original rendering that skillfully mixes figuration and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e In Antonietta Corsini's portraits we can always admire the technical quality\u003cbr\u003e\n of this painter in the reproduction of the human figure. Antonietta Corsini is\u003cbr\u003e\n an artist capable of a total naturalistic rendering, characterised by a\u003cbr\u003e\n very high level of formal purity. The physiognomic features are represented with\u003cbr\u003e\n great truth in a soft and smooth form. The contours are undefined,\u003cbr\u003e \nthanks to a fluid layout that allows the subject to interact\u003cbr\u003e\n naturally with space. This aspect is further developed\u003cbr\u003e\n in portraits made in watercolour, where the use of diluted colour allows\u003cbr\u003e\n obtaining an even more vibrant representation. Even in the synthesis\u003cbr\u003e\n transparent veils reveal the truth of faces and the intensity of glances\u003cbr\u003e\n remains intact, but in a very lively aspect. The union of the subject is usual\u003cbr\u003e\n with nature, in this case with the theme of flowers.\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 \nmotherhood, 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\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 \nspirituality. 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\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 \nThus 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\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":56218391871874,"sku":"ACOR007","price":1140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/The-flower-of-flowers-scaled.jpg?v=1768473228","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/antonietta-corsini-the-flower-of-flowers","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
