Jara Marzulli - Dove sono vento

An artwork with warm, vibrant colors, the man depicted is immersed in a wheat field landscape, near the sea, characteristic of the Puglian coasts. A thoughtful gaze is glimpsed, but his gestures manage to express a certain lightness, so as not to confine him in an identity with rigid boundaries but carried by the wind.

The work does not require a frame.

Jara Marzulli
Diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari with top marks; her painting style becomes immediately recognizable, especially for the unmistakable expression in faces, for the symbolic elements, and the refined painting technique. Through selections she has gathered international experiences regarding contemporary figurative art.
There are numerous competitions in which she is awarded and selected, prestigious international art exhibitions concerning contemporary figurative art, in various parts of Italy and abroad.
Some of her works are present in pinacothecae, in museums such as the one in Athens, Catania, and at the Vittoriale degli italiani, in many publications and in private collections, always of international scope.
