ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My “First Love” Series is a set of thank you letters to the first man who ever made me feel beautiful. As a women striped of a few physical attributes often associated with femininity and beauty I often found myself feeling othered and unattractive or to “masculine”. This first painting [Objectified Gratitude] in the series is my gaze towards a man who himself had a very parallel experience in struggling with aspects of his masculinity that were deemed explicitly feminine. Watching him embrace it and make it apart of his art inadvertently created space for me to do the same. He is labeled as “ First Love” for the infatuation my younger self found with him, the residual affects leaving my older self forever carving a place in my heart out for him. This piece in particular is a failed part of my greater explorations into the concept of muses; in which I give no Form of my inspirations physicality, however so enraptured do I continue to be by his beauty that soon found myself back to the lines and contours of his face; his features and energy ever enchanting me. Thus this is my “First Love; Objectified Gratitude”. The reason that it priced so high compared to my other works is that i find myself hard pressed to part with it... this testament to my first love.

Bianca Criscuolo
United States
Bianca Valencia is a Connecticut born artist specializing in fine art and illustration. Her illustrations lean towards surrealism and abstract expressionism with highly concentrated focus on the exploration of dreams, theology, and the ontology of the self. The concentration of Bianca’s paintings respond to the aesthetic energy of abstract expressionism with its active movement towards work in which the gesture of the artist’s hand or process is highly evident in the final works. Conceptually these works explore Bianca’s spiritual understanding of the world as approached through the lens of a Christian. The work is highly dictated by underlying emotions and the inescapable influence her theological studies and comprehension have on her life. Her current collection works explore the objectification of a muse in juxtaposition to theological ideas of idolization and obsession. Where is the line? How do you remove yourself from the lineage of objectification as an artist? what is appreciation of a muse in contrast? The act of painting for Bianca subversive in its nature as she often removes herself from the world days at a time in the creation process.
