Giusy Curto Pelle - Materic

The surface of the works is a true architecture of materials. Gypsum, acrylic and natural pigments fuse into a thick, textured paste, creating a tactile topography.

The beating heart of the work is the insertion of gold color, which shines and breaks into luminous fragments. Gold is not mere decoration, but a structural element that interacts with ambient light, creating a play of reflections and shadows that transforms the surface of the canvases into a dynamic and continuously evolving visual experience.

Giusy Curto Pelle is a young entrepreneur. She pursues her main profession in the artistic field, being a doctor (PhD) in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, but she has always nurtured a deep interest in pursuing her own artistic and expressive form.

She began her training by enrolling at the Filippo Juvara Art Institute in San Cataldo, choosing the experimental track in Cataloguing and Surveying of Cultural Heritage. After obtaining the diploma, she decided to continue her studies by enrolling at the University of Palermo, at the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences, following the Course in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage.

The love for the artistic world from a creative perspective, from which she had moved away for several years, has now brought her back to approach this field again. Her current artistic pursuit is directed toward the right union between tradition and innovation in search of her own artistic language.

In her works you can see the presence of traditional techniques, materials and subjects elaborated in a modern key with a contemporary style and language.

Her ongoing research and study of materials continually lead her to carry out numerous experiments; we see, in fact, the use of flat or shaded color that intertwines with passages of material painting, which creates marks on the canvas almost to form a new raised texture, often highlighted by the use of metallic leaves.

The canvases will be shipped complete with the frame and carefully packed for safe transport. They will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
