Jara Marzulli - Il giardino

The work represents one of the few remaining by the artist with a theme that often describes a female world, where symbols intertwine with a gesturality that renders and deepens the theme of bonds, such as embroidery on the skin, and of introspection.

The theme often describes a female world immersed in an almost ritual atmosphere, where symbols intertwine with a gesturality that renders and deepens the theme of female bonds.
The embroidery recalls the work of women in ancient times, but the symbols are inverted as if they were marks pressed on the skin, carved and impressed in the very moment, to make them powerful and impactful to the observer.

The eyes and the naturalness of a body are always central, not perfect according to conventional aesthetic canons, not exposed to pleasure, but testifying, itself, to the entire message, communicating security and dignity, going beyond mere observation.

The work has a high frame; it may not even need a border. The canvas is about 4.5 cm tall.

With the work will also be shipped the certificate of authenticity of an original piece.

Jara Marzulli
was born in Bari and graduated from the Bari Art High School and subsequently from the Bari Academy of Fine Arts with top honors. Since 1998 she has participated in exhibitions and contests, quickly earning recognitions, prizes, and important selections.
Her figurative, realistic painterly style quickly became recognizable, and from 2004 international experiences began through fairs, biennials, and major exhibitions.

Her art grows and tells of a feeling that is both ecstatic and carnal, made even more incisive and moving by the technical perfection that characterizes the artist. A lucid and wrenching expressive quality, an indefinable purity that clothes itself in painting, a constant play of disorientation, of role exchanges between the artist who paints and the depicted subject.

Numerous are the prestigious biennials and art exhibitions for which she exhibits in Italy and abroad, such as in Turkey, at Art Taipei fair, Taiwan, China at Red Elation Gallery, Hong Kong, at MEAM Museum in Barcelona, Dublin, at the Mainz 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 that occupy almost the entire space of the canvas manage to visually represent men, women, girls and boys who seem to recognize the observer as a stranger, sustain their gaze, reject him, push him away to defend the silence of their precious inner world.
