Lidoska Guietti

born in Reggio Emilia, Italy in 1972.  I have always loved art and have been painting since 1991.  I obtained my diploma from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna in 1997 and have been working as Graphic Designer ever since. I moved to the United States in 2003 and am currently the Art Director for a marketing agency in Barrington, Illinois.

My painting is a personal experience of intimate dialogue with myself and the world around me.  I express myself through the exploration of color, materials and signs and their interaction and relationship to each other.  By experimenting with these elements, I allow them to freely take on their own form to reach a unique equilibrium.  The end result is a narrative that transmits extraordinary images relating to space, time, history and memories, interpreted through total expressive freedom.

I let my experience guide my intuition when using shapes and colors, making them appear and disappear simultaneously by having them come to the foreground or slip into the background so that they imbue the work with the dynamic energy of life.  I consider my work finished only when it succeeds in creating a moment for reflection.  Only when it creates a real fact that turns into poetry, through my own development of the work, am I truly satisfied.

I have always admired the colors that the Fauvists used, as they inspire joy and vitality.
I feel particularly akin to the Italian Transavanguardia artists of the 80’s, who were devoted to re-discovering painting as a means of restoring to the creative process that element of intense eroticism and that depth of image which does not exclude the pleasure of representation
and narrative.

I prefer using oils on canvas, a technique that lends quality and permanence to my work.
I blend warm and cool colors gently into other shades until they either become completely lost in white or clash violently.  My palette also often contains bright colors.   I like to create material elements by using gesso and canvas collage.  I draw a kind of calligraphy of my own in pencil, and create holes and tears in the paint directly on the canvas.  I also create sharp lines by using masking.
