Isabella Accenti
With “her” Timelessart Isabella Accenti manages to extrapolate the memory of a face or a person from the past to bring it back to life and make it immortal so that it can go beyond the boundaries of time. The past, in her "handmade" images, emerges melted and amalgamated with geometric and dynamic decompositions of lines and surfaces, colors, and planes, which make her works vibrant and vital. The artist starts with photographs related to past eras or family memories and then merges them with other images, lines, and shapes, which freely refer to Art Deco, Cubism, and Futurism. These games of superimpositions, compositions, and decompositions are later enriched thanks to a complex manual phase where the image is reworked, transferred, and fixed on a fine cotton paper, with a long process that makes it a unique, non-reproducible piece.
