Jara Marzulli - Il giardino

The work is one of the artist's few remaining pieces, and it centers on a theme that has often depicted a feminine world, where symbols appear that intertwine with a gestural language that expresses and deepens the theme of bonds, such as embroidery on the skin, and introspection.

The subject matter has often depicted a feminine world immersed in an almost ritual atmosphere, where symbols appear that intertwine with gestures that illuminate and deepen the theme of female bonds.
The embroidery recalls the work of women from older eras, but the symbols are inverted, as if they were marks imprinted on the skin—scored and pressed in the very moment, to make them powerful and impactful to the observer.

The main aspects are always the looks and the naturalness of a body, not perfect according to conventional aesthetic standards, not exposed to pleasure, but that becomes a witness, itself of the entire message, which communicates confidence and dignity, going beyond mere observation.

The piece has a tall frame; it may not even need the frame. The frame is about 4.5 cm tall.

The work will also be shipped with the certificate of authenticity of the original piece.

Jara Marzulli
Born in Bari, he graduated from the Liceo artistico di Bari and later from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari with top honors. Since 1998, he has participated in exhibitions and competitions, quickly earning recognition, awards, and significant selections.
His figurative realist painting style becomes immediately recognizable, and since 2004, he has begun gaining international experience through fairs, biennials, and important exhibitions.

His art grows and tells of a feeling that is both ecstatic and sensual, made even more striking and moving by the technical perfection that characterizes the artist. A lucid and tearing expressive quality, an indefinable purity that dresses itself in painting, a constant play of surprises, of role exchanges between the artist who paints and the subject depicted.

Numerous are the prestigious biennials and art exhibitions where the artist exhibits in Italy and abroad, such as in Turkey, at Art Taipei Fair, Taiwan, China, at the Red Elation gallery, Hong Kong, at the MEAM Museum, Barcelona, Dublin, at the Maguncia Museum, Buenos Aires in Argentina, and in London.

Jara Marzulli's figures have intense, direct, frontal gazes. They possess the dignity of subjects ready to respond with great immediacy. The characters, occupying almost the entire space of the canvas, visually represent men, women, girls, and boys who seem to recognize the observer as a stranger; they sustain the gaze, reject it, and push it away to defend the silence of their precious inner world.
