My encounter with drawing and painting goes back to when I was a child, but besides art I also loved literature and the ancient worlds: I took classical studies and I got my degree in Archaeology, and I specialized in the publishing field. I worked as proofreader and draft writer for different art and historical publishers both on paper and digital. Meanwhile, I gave myself both professionally and passionately to horse riding, the other great passion that resonated in my life since not so many years ago: I was riding instructor for children for long, until a series of unfortunate events made me step back and close that door.<br \/>\nIn 2010 I started taking art lessons with master painter Giorgia Marzi, who taught me techniques unthought of before, and made me aware of my skills.<br \/>\nIt was then I understood that painting could be more than just a hobby, so I dove into the study of art and started experimenting in order to find my personality.<\/p>\n<p><b>In my portraits I want to capture the emotion and enhance it with colors and chromatic contrasts. When I create a painting I imagine the subject as taken from the frame of a movie and transferred on the canvas: there\u2019s a story behind that very expression and that look, and every single viewer who looks at one of my works is free to interpret.<br \/>\nColours are for me the most powerful means of expression: our mind is made of colours and our body is made of colours.<br \/>\nI use oils, acrylics and watercolors. Often it is the subject who brings to me which technique to choose, sometimes the support I want to work on. I prefer rectangular formats, but I also experience other possibilities.<br \/>\nI find myself in a very productive phase of my stylistic evolution, but my aim is to improve more and more. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-667\" src=\"https:\/\/cristinaricatti.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/bandiera_italia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"37\" height=\"23\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>CHI SONO<\/h2>\n<div><i>Sono nata e cresciuta a Roma e qui vivo ancora. Il mio incontro con il disegno e la pittura risale a quando ero ancora bambina, ma oltre all\u2019arte amavo molto anche la letteratura e il mondo antico: ho preso la maturit\u00e0 classica e mi sono laureata in Archeologia, per poi specializzarmi nel settore editoriale. Sono stata editor e articolista per diverse case editrici storico-artistiche, cartacee e online. Intanto dedicavo la mia anima e la mia professionalit\u00e0 ai cavalli, l\u2019altra grande passione che ha permeato la mia vita fino a pochi anni fa: sono stata istruttrice di scuola pony per tanto tempo, finch\u00e9 una serie di sfortunati eventi mi ha spinto fuori e fatto chiudere questa porta.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div><i>Nel 2010 ho cominciato a frequentare i corsi di pittura e disegno della maestra Giorgia Marzi, che mi ha resa consapevole delle tecniche artistiche e delle mie capacit\u00e0. Ho capito che<\/i> <i>dipingere poteva essere qualcosa di pi\u00f9 che un fortunato hobby e ho iniziato a studiare e sperimentare per cercare la mia personalit\u00e0.<\/i><\/div>\n<p><b><i>Nei miei ritratti voglio cogliere l&#8217;emozione e accentuarla con i colori e i contrasti cromatici. Quando realizzo un quadro immagino il soggetto come estratto dal fotogramma di un film e fissato sulla tela: c&#8217;\u00e8 una storia dietro quell&#8217;espressione e quello sguardo, e ogni singolo spettatore che osserva una mia opera pu\u00f2 immaginarla.<\/i><i> I colori sono per me il mezzo espressivo pi\u00f9 potente: di colori \u00e8 fatta la nostra mente e di colori \u00e8 fatto il nostro corpo.<br \/>\nUso oli, acrilici e acquerelli. Spesso \u00e8 il soggetto a suggerirmi quale tecnica scegliere, a volte il tempo o il supporto su cui voglio lavorare. Prediligo i formati rettangolari, ma sperimento anche altre possibilit\u00e0.<br \/>\nPenso di essere in una fase molto produttiva della mia evoluzione stilistica, ma il mio obiettivo \u00e8 migliorarmi sempre di pi\u00f9.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u00a0 &nbsp; ABOUT ME I was born in Rome, Italy, and here I have always lived, studied and worked.
