Artistic Approach

Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert works in pictorial series that all explore a central theme: love, dream, biodiversity, the universe, memory, women's emancipation… Her works are the fruit of meticulous study and deep reflection. They are characterized by vivid colors and a subtle fusion between realism and abstraction in a minimalist style. Realism manifests itself in the essential representation of her subjects. Abstraction, as far as she is concerned, is found in the expression of colored symbols that gravitate in choreographies around characters carrying emotions and ideals. Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert works with a fine-point black felt-tip pen to realize the drawings of her compositions and with acrylic painting and iridescent pigments, gold and silver for the symbols. She uses Fabriano 360 g/m² cotton paper with frayed edges, hand-worked, as support.

Artistic Statement

I do not want to reduce art to decoration or communication that would refuse to listen to sensitive realities. I desire an art that resists impostures and simulacra. An art that commits itself by escaping the impatience of limits. In the era of entertainment and social fragmentation, in this rather disembodied world where we lack the authenticity of beings and the power of action, I see the practice of painting as the possibility of recreating meaning in relationships with our fellow men, with nature, with the world. Art, without becoming a social manifesto, is more than a mere witness to the world's tumults, precisely because it is capable of thawing souls, of robbing spirits and hearts of the protocols that imprison them, of freeing emotions, questioning the world, decentering the gaze to make men feel the secret harmonies of the universe.
