About Annaluce Aglietto
Biography
My gaze focuses on young people or children, simply immersed in their thoughts or intent on their games, transported into somewhat dreamy, airy and suspended surroundings.
Inspiration moves from the enchantment of a gesture or expression, in which I perceive intuitions, fantasies or mild anxieties, references to contiguous worlds: glimpses of nature, surreal elements, animals living in freedom, airplanes and gliders in flight. These things continually fascinate me.
Following a perceptive thread, I often paint diptychs or triptychs, short stories in which the representational space is divided and the narration takes place between colored and monochrome canvases, pursuing the psychological connections between moments that are distant in space and not necessarily contemporaneous.
My paints are oil on canvas and, before starting the work, I photograph my models, make sketches and use photoshop.
Born and raised in Piedmont (Italy), I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, earning my degree in set design. The following year, I went to Milan, where I had won a scholarship to the La Scala Theater set design shop. In 1989, I moved to Rome, where I pursued a demanding career in scenic design for more than twenty years until 2010, when I scaled back my activities. This allowed me to draw and design a great deal, for theater, film and television alike. I really like the idea that one of my paintings can connect with the emotions of someone else and end up in the intimacy of a home, even by simply eliciting a smile or a memory of innocence. I think that Art finder can help me well to achieve my aim. I currently live and work in Rome.
I have exhibited my artworks in two different solo shows, one in Rome in 2018 and the other in the Gualdo Tadino Museum Center in 2020. I have participated in a number of prestigious group shows, including: four different editions of the "Premio Sulmona" with the patronage of the Italian Council of Ministers (2018 - 2019 - 2020 - 2022), the "Finalists of the Mondadori Art Prize" at Palazzo Reale in Milan (2017), the " Viterbo Creative Biennial" at Palazzo dei Papi (2015) and the “Venice Italian Pavilion” in Turin (2011). My painting "In the Silence Amidst the Trees" was highlighted in the catalog for the 2017 Combact Prize.
