Aurora Mazzoldi

Contemporary Romantic Painter

Aurora Mazzoldi in her own words -

"Like every artist I let inspiration grow in me, so I can transmit through my paintings the images, emerging from my subconscious mind as an inexhaustible source of experiences, stories and paths. All that is depicted through objects, faces, expressions, body positions and movements, which describe stories, dreams, hopes, illusions and desires..."

"Her subjects present themselves to us unadorned by defenses; they stare back at us, inhabiting a space in which the background seems to spread forward in deep, earthly colors, and where the sense of melancholy fuelled by desire is strong. When there are no people present in her works, this sense of melancholy is even greater, for Mazzoldi has brilliantly chosen two iconic objects which strike chords of absence for us—flowers and an unworn hat. Throughout her works, Mazzoldi reiterates the importance of these two objects as living symbols. The absence of people, replaced by hats, and remembered by flowers—this is where Mazzoldi’s paintings convey her theme: the pain of loss alleviated by the palliative of love: The impermanence, yet importance, of human connection pervades these striking works."

Mazzoldi has exhibited in her native Italy and also on an international level Hungary, Germany, Austria, Spain, Argentina and the United States. Mazzoldi lives and works in Arco di Trento, Italy.

Agora Gallery (New York) described her contemporary romanticism in a press release:

"Soft light, subtle colors and sumptuous textures work together in the works of Aurora Mazzoldi to create a unique style described by art critic Maurice Taplinger as “contemporaryromanticism”. Mazzoldi’s acrylics on canvas are imbued with profound emotion and point to the artist’s own deep relationship to her paintings. Having lived in France, Austria and Italy, Mazzoldi is deeply informed by the art historical traditions that are present in her everyday surroundings and looks to a wide range of influences from the Renaissance Masters of Italy to the Nineteenth Century Romantics. Although her use of dramatic mood is drawn directly from the Romantic tradition, Mazzoldi’s color pallet and soft modeling of form is reminiscent of the Old Masters of the Renaissance. A spiritual thinker who buries herself in each work of art, Mazzoldi is also deeply affected by the philosophical message of the Christian Esoteric teacher Daskalos..." http://www.art-mine.com/ArtistPage/Aurora_Mazzoldi.aspx

I hope art makes it possible."
