Delfina Giannattasio

Presenting a world that speaks of perception, light and matter, the Italian artist Delfina Giannattasio explores the tactile materiality of painting.

Giannattasio’s sensitivity to the dimension of space dates back to her formation as an architect. As an artist, she breaks the rules, transforming the physical reality into an emotional one. Yet the materiality of her works–acrylics, sand and layers of gold, amongst others–represents an ever-present reminder that the inner space within us must be in constant balance with the outer world. This bond with nature and the natural environment goes back to her life experiences in the family nursery, where she has her studio.

As the Italian artist points out, the work constitutes an attempt to eternalise an instant, to represent movement and its relation to light and space, colapsing layers of time, space, emotion, colours.

Delfina Giannattasio lives and works in London, UK and Rome, Italy.

Giannattasio has explored a wide range of media, including watercolour, oil and acrylic painting on canvas, paper and other materials, drawing, ceramics and photography. The genres span from animal portraiture and nudes to abstract landscapes.
