Jara Marzulli - La incantata

Oil painting on canvas, refined in the handling of colors and in the clear, light brushstrokes, with a realistic style and at times symbolist.
The work is part of a very important period in which the artist pursued a renewal of a lost identity, also through mythological stories and many symbols of femininity, via the shiny ribbons and cut braids to evoke a renewal of the artist's own identity, which, however, in this case leads more to a childlike enchanted state.
The girl is suspended, surrounded by hummingbird butterflies that almost spill from her head like invented thoughts, while in her gaze lies the uncertainty of a near future.
Only a few pieces remain from those years.

The piece has a tall stretcher and may not need a frame.

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

The works of Jara Marzulli are part of private collections in many parts of the world, public and museum collections such as in Athens, in Catania at MacS, in the Gaeta Pinacoteca and at the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera and in Cadiz, Spain. He also collaborates with "The Guide artists", a brick-and-mortar and online store of the finest figurative art worldwide.
Numerous publications appear in major catalogs, books, and both print and online magazines with an international reach. The latest book 'La statura della palma,' published by Selvatiche Edizioni, featuring 15 images of its works, in collaboration with poet Francesca del Moro, is available to order from various stores and platforms or by contacting ordini@selvaticheedizioni.com

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.
