Maria Frediani - Vase of 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.

For artist Maria Frediani, depicting landscapes or still lifes means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, her views and floral compositions, in which she employs a purely figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where reality is represented in a rarefied manner. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more expressionistic and symbolic language. Maria Frediani's refined pictorial touch, which delicately synthesizes objects, plays a key role in this process. Thus, her color palette is also distinguished by a delicate anti-naturalistic tendency, where the exaltation of yellows and violets expresses the artist's poetic sensibility and her almost dreamlike interpretation of the landscape.

As we can see from her pictorial production, the artist Maria Frediani (Livorno 1931) starts from reality to transfigure it into another dimension, between the symbolic and the metaphysical.
