Presentation
The figure is the real thematic protagonist in the
work of Patrizia Parravicini, placed in composition where they
move in an atmosphere all their own, a creation of grace and peace,
of subtle beauty, without a shadow of vulgarity or the possibility
of offending the observer's eye.
Maternity, the family, young children, faces large boned and intuitively
formed, with the eyes open with tenderness, enlarged at the sides
which look upon the loving temple, the sweep of the eyelash, the
custom of an instinctively created environment.These works have
nothing to do with the violent reality almost claiming spiritual
values matured in an aesthetic consciousness wich assumes the
autonomy derived from the force of real creativity, a force which
liberates that which is called the artistic personality.This personality
is seen also in Patrizia Parravicini's technique, which after
the content is the other protagonist of her pictures.
One cannot explain this technique which the artist jeallously
keeps to herself; it is however tied to a sandy back ground which
"holds" the colour and transmits it in small particles,
which render the image full of curves, which sets up a perspective
intense without being creating an ensemble of real and profound
values.
upon these values is based the work of our young artist, capable,
up till now, of following her road of emotions, study, work and
certainty.

BIOGRAPHIC NOTES
Patrizia Parravicini was born in Seregno (MI) and lives in Milan.
She graduated with full marks at "Liceo" specializing
in art subjects San Giuseppe of Monza and is teacher of art education.
Trough numerous exhibitions in Italy (Milan, Rome, Venice) and
abroad (New York, Los Angeles, Basel, Princeton, N.Hope) she is
becoming popular to the press and to the specialized reviews,
as well as radio and TV. She has obtained glamorous artistic recognitions
and she is included in the more qualified art catalogues.
She has taught fresco for the municipality of Milan, executed
posters for the Lombard region and districts, presented art and
poetry critiques. She also joined the municipal art awards as
a jury president, executed LP's covers, painted on walls and bronzes
for private houses and collections. Her painting, a wise mixed
oil technique, strikes for the smoothness of the fluent and clean
brushstroke, capable of working on remarkable dimensions. The
subjects range from complex nets of figures, to lonely intense
naked bodies, spectacular views and bright natural elements (often
reflected into crystalline waters and transparent rivers and seas)
sorrounded by the quietness of clear skies and stormy atmospheres.
The artist always communicates the fascination of unique moments,
eternally captured.
