Gina Pardo

Gina Pardo () was born in Gela, where she has lived and worked until 1990. At the present time she lives in Floridia, a charming town in the district of Syracuse (Italy).
She has improved in various painting techniques, preferring watercolour. She has organized several personal exhibitions, attracting praise from audience and critics.
Her portraits of women, men and children are significant. They reveal the female sensuality, the virility power, the golden innocence of childhood.
Her nudes do not exalt the flesh, but tend to confirm the Universality of beauty. Thanks to the harmonious shades of colors, her painting is bright, at the limit of the evanescence.
The landscapes, immerged into the purest realism of the portrait art, are paradoxically wrapped in an impalpable atmosphere, practically dreamlike, and combined in a mixture of effects which further enhance the originality of her painting. Her works are auctioned by the most famous Italian Art Auction Houses.
