Serena Eart

I was born in Perugia in 1974.
From an early age I began drawing and fell in love with painting; my first experience with oil paint was around the age of 10 thanks to my mother, who at the time was dedicating herself to this (our sofa was an unfortunate casualty of my experiments).
My kit with the necessary tools (colour palette and paint brushes) was ready; with pride and gratitude I carry this faithful travel companion with me every day, it is paradoxically empty so as to welcome the new, and full to the brim in order to transform the old.

My work is based on expressionism, abstractism and the informal.
My favourite technique is oil painting and the current gallery contains medium and large formats on canvas.
Also featured are my explorations on lines and colours through unconscious automatism, evident in the drawings produced with markers, inks and water colours.
Colour is the fulcrum of the work; dense and full-bodied to form images, objects, figures that require time to be absorbed – they fluctuate and are left to float in harmony on liquid and generally neutral backgrounds
This creates an “abstract form or non-form” of substance similar to reality; an object that sometimes breaks-up or in other instances dances grace...

The free and imaginative practice of art has analysis, study and research as it’s foundations.

In 1992, I obtained my diploma as Master of the arts from the State Institute of Art “Bernardino di Betto” in Perugia. Here I also obtained my secondary school diploma in applied art focusing on decorative painting.


In 2001/2002 and 2005/2006 I worked as technical assistant for the Perugia Institute’s laboratories of lacquer-gilding-restoration, mosaics and mural techniques.
In 2005 I pursued an SSIS specialisation in secondary school teaching of Art and Design.
Since 2006 I’ve taught art in multiple schools and from 2016 I have a permanent teacher role in the subject of Art and Imaging.
