About The Artwork

"Sorriso" is a piece from the series "Le Cassette," a collection of small-scale paintings (20x20 cm) created with great care and passion. Each artwork in this series is uniquely packaged in a wooden box, reminiscent of traditional fruit crates, reinterpreted to reference my surname. The box protects the artwork and serves as a frame once the lid is removed, offering an innovative way to display the piece. This piece features a female figure, rendered with a technique that merges figurative art with digital elements. The composition is fragmented into pixel-like segments, created with palette knife strokes that add depth and texture. The color palette ranges from warm hues of orange and red to cooler blues and purples, creating a vibrant contrast that imbues the subject with emotional intensity. The figure emerges from a white background, with eyes partially obscured by abstract strokes and lips suggesting a subtle smile, embodying the essence of "Sorriso." The inspiration for "Sorriso" comes from my love for portraits and exploring human emotions, especially those of women. I am fascinated by the complexity and depth of emotions that people, particularly women, can express. This drives me to capture these nuances on canvas, using pixel fragmentation to represent the multiplicity of human emotions. Through "Sorriso," I hope viewers will feel a connection to the emotional depth and complexity of the human experience. I aim for the piece to evoke introspection, allowing viewers to explore their own feelings and thoughts as they engage with the artwork. I chose oil on canvas for its versatility and richness, which allows for the creation of deep, textured layers and vivid colors. The subject of fragmented, pixelated figures resonates with my vision of blending the digital with the traditional. This style reflects the duality of our existence—caught between the tangible and the virtual—and serves as a commentary on the contemporary human condition.

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.
