Il Pino Painting

Delicately abstract and poignantly ethereal, chilean artist Antonia Covarrubias paints the essence of material things with a poetic flourish. Inspirationally tranquil and serene, these works are eloquently peaceful. Her brushwork smooth and delicate, Covarrubias´s abstract compositions are exquisitely rendered in bright primary and pastel tones. The compositions are vibrant, rooted in realism, yet impressionistic in their quick brushstrokes and masterful use of light. Pure in her approach, Covarrubias comes to her canvas without judging or allowing her work to be overly impacted by her experience of other aritsts' work, exposing her soul through painterly brilliance. "For me, every painting has its one history", she says. "Sometimes I start with something in my mind, and I finish (with)something completely different", The artist works with traditional materials, such as oils, with classic italian artist techniques and pigments. Spirited and intoxicating, these paintings seek, find and illuminate the heart of the ordinary and the commonplace in alluringly beautiful paeans to peace. Antonia Covarrubias lives and works in Rome and Santiago.
