Maria Teresa IETTO

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing the paintings of this artist is that they are large, and this is an unusual thing for a painter who worked on her own patiently over many years. Unlike many painters , beginning with Morandi, who generally tend to focus on small things for timidity of the canvas, she fills all in all its parts without steps or listless left behind. There is no fear. One of the problems of the canvas is in fact that you have to fill it in all its parte. Clearly our painter has felt the need to be a painter and has faced a clash with the great and difficult blank canvas .Her painting then moves on all kinds: she represents both the human figure and still life, as happened to the ancient authors who did not limit themselves to one style. Our painter addresses the entire spectrum of painting. Not afraid to be figurative. Most of the modern painters have rather complex figurative painting and are abstract.These are the first elements you see, for the rest it is likely that there is no school. Her feminine nature emerges only from the clear, non-violent colors. This is the only element that can induce the sex of the author, for the rest these could be works painted by a male. It is therefore not a painting that was born female or intimate but it is a painting that confronts the world. The world she paints is a world away and exotic that has as ascending Gauguin and other authors who have decided to live their lives or feel in different places from where they lived. She considers the problem of the relationship between reality and dream, not wanting to paint the dreams depict the reality of another part of the world that still represents the dream.
