Maria Teresa Vittoriano - In the Woods

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The work is a clear example of an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no regard for spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a highly abstract manner. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, almost disconnected from reality. Delving even further into detail, we can see how Maria Teresa Vittoriano depicts the vegetation with a series of almost gestural pictorial marks, with overlapping and splashes of color. The brushstrokes are either dense or transparent, depending on the emotion the artist wishes to express. A burnished color and a very warm light predominate in the composition.

Maria Teresa Vittoriano was born in Turin in 1951. Her artistic production is highly eclectic: focused on traditional genres such as landscape and still life, this artist's language shows a continuous tension between abstract and figurative.
