Cinzia Quadri - contemporary paintress
Cinzia Quadri, who grew up in Sabbioneta and lives between Lombardy and Umbria, has cultivated a passion for art from an early age. Her social events and canons led her to economic studies and clerical work, but her real passion prevailed over everything about her, causing her to return to her true path, that of art, painting and photography. Indulging in the various techniques, the first of hers, which she has experimented with, is that of watercolor pastels, with which she creates landscapes with animals, basically wild, a sign of a desire for freedom from the daily routine. With any technique, from chalk to oil, the explosion of colors tends to always be very strong and brilliant, the brushstrokes give strong sensations and emotions every time, with plays of light that embellish everything. The creations that best represent her are the ink drawings, also made on majolica, on steel and in oil, born from moments of unconscious inspiration, which express hidden emotions through her free symbology of intersecting images, even in words, poems , songs. He found a name for this technique "Hindsight", (literally it would be rear view, seeing from behind ... that is, seeing things not as they appear to us, but going around them and seeing them from there, from the opposite angle) in spoken language, Hindsight translates as "hindsight", meaning an awareness of something after having studied, tried, absorbed it. Her works are complex, they hide many details and details that need to be paid attention to in order to arrive at a profound and complete interpretation of reality. The Renaissance Reproductions on majolica are an important phase of her career, considered as a school of the great masters. With passion and dedication she has been carrying on her art for years now, painting everything around her according to her vision of her, with the aim of involving anyone interested in her works.
Cinzia Quadri, born to express her soul through every form of art, has always shown an innate vocation and a prodigious talent, not only towards painting, the result of a superior gift, but also towards music and poetry, which combines theatrically on a stage of signs, images, words and musical texts. Her complex depth, her multifaceted interiority, her superior instincts dedicated to the search for truth, for the less obvious meaning of things and of life itself, in a sort of prescient vision, guide her in interpreting the most hidden realities, in the form exclusive, in an original and extremely personal way.
Her works must be read with the attention of passion, with the interest of the lover of art and life, so that they themselves can read through her admired gaze of her the most hidden secrets of her. With subsequent studies, the artist has refined that atavistic gift that he has always cultivated as a precious resource, showing surprising results from an early age, on multiple styles, from the very personal and unpublished Hindsightart to any other pictorial style, with which he manages to interpret his impulses and the soul of the client. Those who know her cannot fail to be enchanted by so much depth, passion, sensitivity, expressed in a talent whose boundaries are invisible, in art as in life, attentive as she is to grasping and reworking less apparent truths, to transform them in art.
