Barbara Nicoletto - FRANGIPANE 14-14

-Directly from the studio of artist Barbara Nicoletto-
Contemporary Italian artist, in this work her research focuses on matter and the relationship between figure and surface.

Title: Frangipane
Technique: oil on canvas
Dimensions: 100 × 50 cm
Thickness: 4 cm

Frangipane is an elegant contemporary portrait in which the female figure emerges with delicate intensity from a veiled, material painting surface. The direct and magnetic gaze immediately captivates the viewer, while the vertical composition elongates the face and gives the work a strong stage presence.
The crown of frangipane flowers — a symbol of purity, beauty and spirituality in tropical and Balinese cultures — envelops the figure like natural light, creating a refined contrast with the soft and slightly tinted tones of the background.
The glazes and light color drips give depth to the painting surface, suggesting a suspended dimension between reality and memory. The result is an evocative and sophisticated work, capable of conveying calm, mystery and charm.
thanks to its elongated format and delicate palette, Frangipane fits perfectly into contemporary environments, elegant interiors or spaces with a natural and exotic taste, becoming a decorative element with great visual impact and collectability.

'BARBARA NICOLETTO’ - Italian Artist. January 1968 - Padua
Active between Reggio Emilia and Padua.

Always passionate about art and drawing, she continued her studies at Padova’s Istituto d’Arte ‘Pietro Selvatico’ with a painting specialization, experimenting with various representative techniques such as watercolor, tempera, acrylic, ink, oil and printing techniques thanks to masters with deep knowledge of ancient techniques, reinterpreted with new formulas and current ones that make her a constantly innovative and experimental artist.
The search for new stimuli and evolving balances leads her to collaborate in the world of sport, actively combining different disciplines for physical and psychological well-being, which, blended with the visual arts, collaborates and supports her until guiding her in teaching artistic disciplines and pursuing new professional goals.
Her Art can only evolve and change with her mood and curious personality! She will rarely present herself as a single recognizable artistic face in a linear production line, but will emerge and amaze with her eclectic mutability.

1989/ 2011- She continues her work in the furniture sector as a designer for several important Veneto and Romagna companies.
2017 to present- Independent artist; Atelierist, painting and related subjects student at Reart Reggio Emilia.
She continues experimenting thanks to her great passion for other cultures abroad, deepening her knowledge of analog and digital photography with consequent inspiration for her works.
Her curiosity for different forms of artistic expression brings her closer to the world of ceramics, with Raku being the most loved.
The technique will be learned and deepened in the great workshop of master Nico Toniolo in Marostica.
She participates in several art competitions with works that receive recognition from juries such as the first prize at Raku Padova Arts in 2001. Deepening the illusionistic technique of marble and stone such as travertine and Carrara marble.
*Currently her most used technique is evolving oil painting thanks to the mixing of material grounds with ultramarine blue, metallic oxides, pumice and whatever the moment or occasion brings at that moment.
Deep eyes of animals, distant peoples, moons and fantastic landscapes!
*She works and evolves an innovative original and abstract Sealing artistic style. Unique in its kind.
She participates in numerous exhibitions with subjects and themes always different, making her works appear as if by different hands, all thanks to her imaginative and eclectic transformative ability.
*Her fertile mind leads her to approach art with a new, deeper and more subjective perspective, stripping it of the paradigms by which it is labeled, returning it to its true nature, that of speaking the language of emotions and the deepest human instincts, passing the word. After three years of study, she earned the title of Art Therapist recognized by UNI PRO.
