Ana Seggiaro   Emerging artists

This captivating artwork juxtaposes a vivid, contemporary color palette with classic mythological themes. Set against a striking pink background, the piece features dynamic figures engaged in a celestial struggle, rendered in bold hues of red, green, and blue. These figures wield flags, conveying a sense of movement and urgency, while the sharp lines of the background enhance the dramatic tension. The lower portion presents a chaotic scene filled with intricately detailed forms, creating a stark contrast between order and turmoil. The use of both modern and historical artistic elements showcases a unique fusion, making the piece a profound commentary on the timeless nature of conflict and human endeavor. This artwork compels the viewer to examine the harmonious yet discordant interaction of color, form, and theme.

Ana Seggiaro's training as an engraver awakened her fascination for the works of Durero and Piranesi. This leads her both to recover the language of engraving itself through other media and to appropriate and dialogue with the works of these artists. This conversation, however, does not start from a solemn, pristine, or untouchable place, but from the recognition of her virtues, thus allowing her to operate, rebuild, eliminate, and retouch fragments to compose her own work. Starting from pre-existing works of hers, Seggiaro builds a kind of mimicry of the original pieces in an exercise of visual reconstruction that she uses as a structure for her production. But the works are just that, states altered by her gaze that resemble, without repeating, the original piece.
