Antonella Belviso
Italian Painter
I am a figurative and conceptual painter who explores the inner world of people: their dreams, aspirations, and what makes them unique. I portray bodies and details that are at the center of my artistic research, guiding and shaping my paintings.
Through my art, I suggest a different approach to life—one that is more positive and introspective. I invite viewers to search for themselves and discover the nuances of existence, here and now, in light of the fleeting nature of time and the unpredictability of fate.
In this context, my paintings become an inner journey—a means of rediscovering one’s authenticity and reconnecting with the beauty that permeates every moment.
In recent years, I began experimenting with poured paint, which eventually enveloped my figurative oil-painted elements of my work. I felt the need to reconnect with the vibrant energy of colors that I used at the beginning of my artistic journey, when my paintings were abstract, I sought to combine the vibrant colors I once used with the more delicate tones of human skin—immersing human figures in patches of color that now form their background.
This abstract element of these pours has become a fundamental part of my work. Rivers of acrylic paint surround the more thoughtful and detailed figurative elements, creating a dialogue between the unpredictability and mutability of life and the desire for control.
The act of pouring color onto the canvas is both physical and conceptual- laden with tension because it embraces the impossibility of full control, allowing the material to lead toward unexpected results.
I have also approached the world of ceramics and wood, and my most recent works clearly bear their influence. Today, I create works with mixed materials that do not overlap but coexist—seeking a balanced harmony between them.
I’ve always believed that my desire to explore and find solutions, both in the internal dialogue with in my work and in the relationship with the viewer, stems from my first profession in advertising, where I worked for years as an art director in Milan.
Having long communicated through a language deeply connected to others, my art has now become a freer and more personal space, where I can seek meanings, symbolism , and the tone with which to express them.
I consider my paintings to be influenced by the Surrealist movement, as my works are often imaginary journeys through mental and emotional landscapes that transcend objective reality.
