Anna Barone - La Forma e il Mondo

The Form and the World - Anna Barone

Abstract work realized in acrylics and mixed media on canvas, characterized by light glazes and layered transparencies. A fluid presence emerges in the foreground and echoes more softly in the surrounding space, while a large enveloping glaze suggests the world as a field of resonance and transformation.

The work is part of the artist’s exploration of interior thresholds and the horizons of the soul: abstract, dreamlike spaces, open to the spectator’s interpretation, where imperfection and matter become an integral part of the expressive language.

Concept Series "Horizons Suspended"

This artwork belongs to my painterly journey dedicated to the "Horizons Suspended," a research born from the encounter between water and intuition. In these canvases, fluid matter builds inner landscapes, imagined visions that do not represent real places but states of mind, perceptual thresholds, and fragments of ephemeral beauty.

The surface unfolds through light stratifications, transparencies, diffuse fields, evoking silence, waiting, and the breath of suspended time. In some works, essential signs emerge — stylized blossoms, floating petals, reflected trees — symbolic presences that amplify the meditative and dreamlike aspect without imposing a closed narrative. The series remains a process in becoming, open to gestural and formal variations, faithful to a poetry of the unspoken and the threshold.

Artist Statement

My work explores the fluid nature of water and its capacity to generate forms, movement, and light. Through watercolors, inks, and light glazes, I translate this energy into abstract visions that evoke calm, mystery, and introspection.

I paint landscapes of the unconscious: suspended horizons, reflected trees, inner blossoms. Each work invites slowing down, getting lost, and “breathing with the eyes.” I let the water guide the process, welcoming imperfections and ephemeral traces as fragments of truth.

Welcome to my dreams on canvas.
