Curriculum esteso
Anna Tozzi, aka ATò, was born in Rome on 10-6-1965.
A graduate in Graphic Design and Advertising from the European Institute of Design, she has to her credit two years of experience working for a graphic design studio followed by a series of collaborations in the conception and design of logos and coordinated images.
Following her passion for painting, she has been working for years as a painter exploring and testing a personal technique that revolves around the expression of emotions through color and material.
Reflecting the changing spirit of the artist, ATò’s paintings begin to show their inner expressive content as they are made: the mix of acrylic and PVA glue is poured onto the canvas and spread with a brush or palette knife, creating lines and boundaries.
The initial brushes and color tones are not the actual ones, and the painting takes on its final shape and color only when it dries forming a more distinct “mark,” as if to convey the imprint of the artist’s emotional state.
In Sayato exhibits works from the “Cracks” series: cracks in a wall branch out and are filled with gold to exorcise a break.
“If I could express myself with words, I am sure they would not have the same color. That’s why I paint.”
“I paint to feel good, I paint to bring out what has been layered and covered over the years, my joys and sorrows. In a word I paint emotions.”
