"What strikes in the works of Assunta Cassa are the iridescent pixels populated by faces, movements, landscapes of the soul. In her paintings the oxymoron is a light passage, memory flashback and endless leap into time, into places where the contrasts between reds, blacks, purples, theatres and metropolitan suburbia come to life. Everything sustains the lightness of the figures, and the soul is there, under the colours, in its self unveiling our own being. The quick and mobile sight, the soft touch of light in an intense and free research. Overwhelming energy, inexplicable force that goes beyond the painting and the gaze, already becoming a threshold on this side of a dilated horizon." (Rossella Frollà, Writer).

Born in the southern region of Puglia but adopted by “le Marche”, with a MS in economics and trade, Assunta Cassa is characterized by an open and communicative personality that has always drawn her into searching new ways to express her talents. Through time she has worked in various fields until a project in collaboration with the “Piceni Museums” awakens her call to art, discovering her passion. Painting is for her a moment of emotional synthesis and for thinking. She visits art studios discovering her strong sense of colour and shapes. She experiments the figurative and informal art, it's towards figures that she addresses her attention, developing a special combination of shapes and colours, creating her personal perspective of everyday life, making it modern, metropolitan, where the picture, dotted in pixels, seems to be all that counts entrapping the characters. On the other hand, with the spatula, she frees deep shades of colour that create a glimpse of the internal self always searching freedom and harmony.

“ Assunta Cassa's technique – oil painting with spatula, demonstrates capacity and talent as well as giving her artworks body and substance, as in suggesting that instinct and passion come before thinking, in an act of liberation. The energetic chromatic choice, reinforces this message of lively dialogue between the conscious and unconscious, gives energy to the painting, strongly capturing the viewer's attention. This energy pulses passionately, although Assunta chooses to fragment or frame the colour, representing the images in big digital pixels, as in saying: this is my virtual message!” (Maria Franca Fanni, Art Master)

Assunta has started displaying her art in 2011 with her first solo exhibition in San Benedetto del Tronto, followed by other solos in Marche region, as well as Veneto and Tuscany. She has taken part in collective shows in various Italian cities, as Rome, Florence, Ferrara, Piacenza, Lecce, Macerata, Barletta...
