Urban Fairy Tale Painting

n her portraiture, Rosso Emerald Crimson renders female subjects who emerge through a haze of pastels and muted tones. She infuses the dreamy oil paintings with responses to current affairs and questions about the future, which often serve as a catalyst for her projects. The artist depicts the women and girls staring forward with unsmiling expressions. Psychologically charged, her characters capture the viewers’ imagination and instill very subjective, intimate responses. ********** Italian born, Rosso has been living in London since early 2000. She trained at the London Atelier of Representational Art (LARA) and now works a full time artist.
