Description of the work
Description of the work
The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the female figure is an expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.
The style of painter Violetta Mastrodonato, in much of her work, is characterized by the development of a strongly expressionist language that often verges on the informal. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a vibrant and dramatic manner. For this reason, through the application of color, she develops a highly synthesised process that reduces the subjects to dense, material layers of paint, in which the painter's emotion is also a key feature, conveyed through her agitated gestures. All these elements together constitute the expressionistic power of Violetta Mastrodonato's painting. This power is also based on a specific aesthetic choice that reaffirms the dramatic tone of her works, namely, that of favoring chromatic impastos that definitively transcend any contact with the sensory, so that the choice of colors is dictated solely by symbolic and spiritual values.
Violetta Mastrodonato was born in Capodistria in 1954 and lives and works in Montesilvano. A painter, she has been active on the art scene for over forty years. Beginning with a figurative vision and language, over the years she has developed various experiences that have led her to painting cycles with themes and techniques related to the informal, abstract, and conceptual. Recently, her research has included the use of various materials, recovered and recycled, for expressive purposes and in environmental installations. She organizes and conducts workshops and promotes cultural events. Since 1994, she has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad. She has received numerous awards and recognitions. Many of her works are held in private collections and museums.
