Barbara Bartolomei - Bali

Bali. Oil painting on paper. The application of oil on paper gives the surface a satin and elegant feel.
An explosion of vital energy and natural mysticism. This composition draws deep inspiration from the lush and wild landscapes of Bali's forests, reinterpreting them through an expressive and vibrant lens.
The Color: The dominant cadmium red evokes the warmth of the tropical land, passion and primordial energy of Balinese nature, interwoven with golden hues that recall the sun's reflections among the dense vegetation. Cockatoos and exotic birds emerge from the botanical tangle as silent guardians. The shapes of flora and fauna blend into a single decorative rhythm, where the boundary between subject and background dissolves.
An open window onto a dreamy and enveloping tropical paradise.

Barbara Bartolomei is a painter, lecturer in painting and drawing, trained at the Sacred Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Her artistic research moves between mastery of traditional techniques and a conceptual inquiry into visual perception and the philosophy of the image. Through a figurative language, her works explore the thin boundary between tangible reality and the inner dimension. She sells works throughout Europe and outside the EU, painting both on commission and for auctions and private collectors. The paintings are finished with a final protective varnish. The materials used are non-toxic.
