Emiliana Cordaro

She finds her inspiration in the landscapes, cities, and villages she encounters during her travels. From small Italian villages to vast European moorlands and everything in between. In her work, the atmosphere of the landscape is far more important than a precise depiction of reality. She transforms the landscape into a composition of shapes, lines, colors, and contrasts.

Through the use of vibrant pigments, she creates vivid colors reminiscent of William Turner's later work. By modeling paint and pigment in layers, as if it were clay, she sculpts highly atmospheric, sometimes transparent images that bring the original landscape to life.

The richly applied paint and pigments result in a thickly layered painting with tremendous depth and texture, requiring time to fully appreciate, much like a fine wine. Although the work is clearly modern, it still has a classic feel, partly thanks to the beautiful 'Dutch skies'.
