Elsa Martinetti - Untitled - MVEN004

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.

Artist Elsa Martinetti's style is truly original and visually striking. The painter subjects her subjects to a remarkable process of abstraction and reduction to convey the very essence of a vase of flowers or a landscape into the work. The result achieved by this process is truly evocative. The subject is resolved in a delicate layering of transparent washes of color, dematerialized into what can be considered a true vision extrapolated directly from the artist's perception. Formally, all this is possible thanks to this painter's extraordinary sensitivity of touch, capable of modulating colors into a subtle and iridescent texture.

Elsa Martinetti was a painter born in 1921 in Verres and passed away in 2018. Her work is distinguished by her masterful use of color. Through transparent layers, she manages to reach the very essence of her subjects, representing them on the canvas as elements of pure perception.
