SpazioAllaMateria

The colors seem to come alive, extending beyond the canvas, giving space to the very essence of matter.

This abstract mixed-media painting with relief is a vibrant explosion of colors and materials that appear to take on a life of their own, extending beyond the traditional confines of the canvas. The chosen tones are primary, bold, and dynamic, creating a visual effect that immediately captures attention.

The colors, applied with energy and intensity, appear to spill out from the surface, breaking the barrier between the artwork and the viewer. This three-dimensional effect is heightened by the use of mixed materials, which introduce texture and depth, transforming the flat surface of the canvas into a dynamic field of living matter.

The overall effect is one of an artwork that transcends mere two-dimensionality, inviting the viewer to explore not only with their eyes but also with their imagination, perceiving the painting as a living, pulsating entity. This interplay of color and matter creates a fully immersive sensory experience, where art becomes a tangible, dynamic expression of life and emotion.

Patrizia Cognetti

Since 1984, Patrizia Cognetti has pursued art with an innate passion for drawing and painting, working with a wide variety of techniques. At the age of twenty, she illustrated the book The Shroud and the Popes, creating ink portraits of more than thirty popes, from Saint Peter to John Paul II. Her artistic exploration has led her to paint works characterized by vivid, luminous hues.

She is drawn to abstract forms, which allow her to best express emotions, but she also paints skylines and landscapes that have left a lasting impression on her. Her paintings are distinguished by thick, textured brushstrokes and manipulations. Sharp contrasts reflect her confident creativity, driving her to continually explore new directions.

Metallic gold and silver tones play a significant role in her work, along with the balanced integration of various materials that harmonize with her already textured painting style.

Subjects: Abstract forms, urban settings, landscapes, nature, and occasional figurative works.
Techniques: Plaster and gesso with acrylics, inks, varnishes, gold and silver on canvas, wood, cardboard, plexiglass, and composite materials.
