From the personal exhibition "OIL AND PAPER TWO PASSIONS OF ANTONELLA SCAGLIONE", February 2015:

Surely this artist is not academic, she is not photographic, she never will be; peers, look, appreciate, think, transforms and manages to express the desire to convey emotions with a painting chromatic masses and a descriptive term that exceeds the mark. 

Her suggestion emerges from what she tells and her emotions increases as defines her work as a son who takes care with a sincere transport whose wellspring, inherent in her DNA, is mixed with the spontaneous intellectual kindness and an honesty , predestined, inescapable, obvious.

She adopts a kind of personalized Expressionism that administers pictorially without following preconceived and artificial ramifies rules a figure attributable to no one style that frees herself from a uniform of which the world of painters say , they chase flags and fashionistas symbols but is near  to collapse.

Antonella Scaglione persists  a spontaneity of its own, with independent personality, pursuing a chromatic research with unique experiences, tonal choices, light intuitions and especially with significant materiality that forces her to even more diverse mixed technical enough to compete even with that specific collage .

In her works, she scrutinizes references, which although unintentional, sometimes evoke Migneco, sometimes Guttuso or maybe Rotella; her world, however, is never limited but is expressed through the human breath, in finely lyrical at the same time, the experiences she's going to tell drawing lymph and substantial soil from anthropogenic and environmental realities.

Her good visual impact is always realized with suitable choreography and never eloquent scripts marked by the overdoing it, to excess, to overcome the limits of good taste and always holding back, faithfully respect the most decorous artistic concept.

The genuineness of her thought and her work is always dominant and transmits a thin delicate lyricism and therefore consistent with the Leonardo's concept which sanctioned "Primus in art est thought"; her spontaneity makes each of her canvas does not suffer never attention "controlled" but simply the connotation of a well-transmitted history and told with love.
