Novella Parigini - Tree of Life

The work presents us with a strong, vibrant color, emphasizing these two bodies that intertwine and become two shrubs. The arms reaching sky transform into actual branches, while below, the legs branch out into strong roots. As usual, artist Novella Parigini offers us a delicate and captivating work that blends natural and human elements, without straying from her unique and highly personal style, which straddles surrealism and pop art.

Expressive, warm, and voluptuous, Novella Parigini's work reflects the artist's unique talent for expressing herself with a strong sense of purpose. The decidedly flat and diluted color palette complements the vibrant hues that form the backdrop to a firm design that gradually softens toward the top, becoming more dramatic toward the end, with roots pressing against a stylized support surface.

The figure of Novella Parigini (1921-1993) differs markedly from the conventional naïve artist, who is typically a social outcast, if not outright marginalized. Parigini's life, however, is characterized precisely by the high society of her experiences, both in Rome and Paris. And it is in this sense, then, that her pursuit of pure and simple formal values ​​in her artistic career should be interpreted. First and foremost, the hedonism typical of the Sienese aristocracy from which Parigini descended comes into play, making painting a game in itself, a playful exercise to be practiced with a refined and fascinating childishness. But art, for Parigini, is also a reflection of her free, unconventional life: hence her desire to pursue pure aesthetic canons that break all ties with the past.
