Giulianna Lazzerini paints Italy

In the last decade or so Ms. Lazzerini has appeared on the artistic horizon as a internationally acclaimed painter and is much sought after by collectors. Her watercolors are especially inspiring, delightful stylized portrayals of Tuscan landscape and life.

Lazzerini was born in Tuscany, and her inspiration comes from her homeland. She states,

"My first contact with Art was in Italy as a child in my father's Mosaic Studio. The translucency of Mosaic fragments and the way colours can vibrate against each other always fascinated me. These were mainly reproductions of early Religions Images where the use of Symbolic Figures made me realise that an Art Image has its own reality. This and the spectrum of European Art is in my attempt to create new expressive Images. Colour is very important to me, it helps me convey emotion in all my subjects. My Landscapes and Buildings are evocative of Tuscany, the land where I grew up. Tuscan Mediaeval Frescoes depicting Biblical Stories in a stylised manner have had an enormous influence in my early formation as an Artist."

Some of her work can be viewed on her website. While her original watercolors are quite costly, prints of some of her popular works can be purchased from many poster stores. Currently this shop is having a sale and 18 of Lazzerini's works are available.
