Valentina D'Amaro, a painter, linked to figuration, works on rigor, on the insistent repetition of the same subject, taken to extremes. Every slightest variation is the result of a slow, very slow construction, while the only theme is the landscape obtained with only two colors, green and white. Central subject is the cut of the horizon. The artist thus aims at pure, conceptual painting, without frills and frills, which gets right to the center of the idea (luca beatrice).
