About The Artwork

Io ti vedo 2" from the Soul Mirror series, is an art piece that stands at the intersection of technological modernity and the timeless quest for self-understanding. This painting features a mesmerizing eye that commands the center of the canvas, providing an open yet enigmatic portal to the soul. Inspired by the increasing interplay between our digital personas and our true selves, Cassa seeks to explore the depth of human emotion and the authenticity of our interactions in a world saturated with fleeting digital exchanges. Viewers are meant to be drawn into an introspective journey, encouraged to ponder the power of sight and perception. The eye in this work is not merely a sensory organ but a symbol of understanding and insight. Cassa hopes to evoke a sense of self-awareness and to prompt a reflection on the way we see each other and ourselves in our increasingly digitized world. The choice of oil on canvas as a medium is deliberate, contrasting the organic, tactile nature of traditional painting with the subject matter's digitized, pixelated style. The medium offers a richness of texture and depth of color that digital means cannot replicate, while the subject matter and style speak to the digital age's influence on visual language. This juxtaposition is central to the work's commentary on modern life's complexities. The style, with its pixilated abstraction juxtaposed against hyperrealism, further accentuates the theme of fragmentation within our digital era, suggesting how our understanding of self and others can become compartmentalized and distorted. "Io ti vedo 2" is an invitation to contemplate the vibrancy of the human spirit amidst the encroachment of digital reality, urging a reconceptualization of what it means to truly 'see' in a world where our visions are often clouded by the pixels of technology.

The artist lives and works in her studio in San Benedetto del Tronto, in the centre of Italy. Growing up in Manfredonia, she developed a great passion for drawing, which she continued to cultivate during her university years in Pescara. After meeting a group of artists in San Benedetto del Tronto in 2008, she decided to give space to her love for art and attended training courses and art workshops, exploring both figurative and abstract art and experimenting with different techniques and media. Since 2012 she has dedicated herself solely to his artistic career. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the International Biennial of Bari and Metropolitan Area in 2018, for three years at the AR[t]CEVIA International Art Festival and the Cimitile Prize. There have been several exhibitions abroad: Paris, Tokyo, Bratislava. Among the many solo shows, she was present in Foggia with the exhibition “Oltre l’Orizzonte” in 2017. She also designed the cover of the album “Metaphors” by the well-known American bassist Alphonso Johnson. Since May 2022 the image of her work “Malala. Stronger than fear” has been part of the permanent installation “Arte del Dialogo–Agorà” in Pieve di Cadore. Assunta Cassa has created her own original figurative language through the division of the visual space that originates from the fragmentation into pixels of digital images. In particular, she takes her cue from the “dimension” that we unconsciously live in our smartphones, computers, tablets: the tiny, infinitesimal pixels’ dimensions, which, incredibly fast in their overlapping, animate the images and give life to our screens. Assunta’s idea is to crystallize, isolate, manipulate, mix, and materialize them on her canvases, with a quantum effect. With her work she wants to show us the current reality as a fragmented pixels with intense colors that intertwine and condense into a single image, filtered by her sensitivity, her thoughts and her experiences.
