Annamaria Biagini is a young painter of indisputable originality who commands a great deal of respect. From life, she draws the unpredictable multiformity of things and their unexpected rhythms; from her experience with theatre she draws a canny sense for setting the stage, an astute feel for background painting, and the varitas that kindles surprise and sorcery. From herself (that is, from her talent) she draws a sure sense of taste and the capacity to organize an incredible miscellany of articles within the mysterious art of representation, where line and form, and colours and shadings are rearranged and quicken to form another reality.
The story of these painter from Livorno is an intense one. Annamaria Biagini’s training has comprised a variety of fields: she studied painting at the school of the master Giancarlo Cocchia, sculpture with Sebastiano Trovato, and finally scene design under the direction of Ferdinando Ghelli.
Today, the artist has accrued a great quantity of professional experience and is acknowledged as a costume and set designer, working in the most important Italian theatres in Milan, Genoa, Bari, Rome and Florence.
Annamaria began painting relatively recently, but painting provides a flexible creative medium where her many skills (from theatre to dance) finally meld and mellow in a free original impulse, and into the freedom of art.
The unique ability of this artist is undoubtedly hers alone and lies in her capacity to unite the unlimited possibility of the fantastic, microscopic precision, and the surreal objects she represents with a landscape that is at once independent, whimsical, and rational, that contains something playful and something deeply symbolic. In Biagini’s canvasses, everything is exact, but in a manner possible only in a non-existent world. |
