Giovanna Rigattieri is an artist who indulges in the language most congenial to her, that of painting. Her painting knows no temporal or geographical limits and is primarily influenced by drawing and photography. She delves into an alchemical search in harmony with her more orthodox tradition but also with the experimentation that accompanies her in constant evolution. The artist employs a mixed technique that ranges from mark-making to oil or acrylic painting, to collage, setting aside the now outdated dichotomy between abstract and figurative.
Strong in the artist is the interest in the poetic concept “Ut pictura poesis” – painting is a silent poetry, poetry is a speaking painting. A common element between poetry and painting is precisely the image that serves as compositional grammar, allowing for a harmonious complementarity between these two innate forms of expression. An artistic proposal that captivates the viewer in a more complete and intriguing sense, involving them in the multiple interpretations of the works.
