Li Gotti

“Sometimes it is difficult to speak or write and anyone looking for different spaces and means to be able to express themselves. Often art becomes the means to be able to say in silence without anyone discovering, knowing, understanding.”

and of the”International School of Graphics” with courses in drawing, painting and sculpture. Anna Maria she experiments with different painting techniques, she uses a mixed technique composed of oil colors, acrylics, pastels, china, ink. Anna Maria Li Gotti’s painting is part of an aesthetic and cultural process with original characters, which suggest the maturation of an important turning point: art is no longer a chromatic representation of

reality as in the era of impressionism, much less description of the needs of large clients as in the long centuries of the classical tradition. On the contrary, it is the interpretation of life as a problem; and therefore, philosophical, as well as aesthetic inspiration. Far from the instant on iterative schemes that are a recurring practice of too many artistic attempts, as if the expressive message could be trivialized like any promotional “spot”.

Anna Maria Li Gotti born on 22.02.1940 in Zoppola (PN) lived in various cities of Italy to transfer her residence to Conegliano Veneto (TV) in the 70s. City in which you discovered your vocation for art, in particular for painting. She works in her studio, in Crevada, in San Pietro di Feletto (TV). You have deepened your technical research in Venice by following some courses of the “Academy of Fine Arts” including the study of the nude, engraving and history of art and of the “International School of Graphics” with courses in drawing, painting and sculpture.

The works of Anna Maria Li Gotti highlight the perennial antithesis between spirituality and immanence, the rational and the emotional, the eternal and the transient, without indicating answers, necessarily dogmatic, but asking a series of questions on the meaning of life and on human destiny.

-Valeriano Lazzari

Experiences and emotions lived become a starting point for creativity and artistic expression. The artist is completely immersed in the action of painting, relying on color that becomes a vehicle of emotions. It is the color that fades everything, or explodes in a memory of a storm on the sea, or luxuriant vegetation or flowers only dreamed of.

-Franca Morandi

The paradox lies precisely in officiating the word, in highlighting its own limits and indicating, in this, as in many other similar cases, the privilege of an energetic relationship, made up of fluidity of sight, which is able to better grasp the events of this dissemination made in the absence of wind, but in the presence of an evident invitation to dream, albeit with open eyes. [...] As a state of mind of suspension, lightness and transparency, which gives these images a great sense of tranquility, with a corresponding invitation to contemplative immersion, to lose any reasoning reason and be captured by the universe of the sensations that is released and becomes the mirror of a visitation that opens the doors to the intuition of an infinitely great.

-Francesco Gallo

The images fix the gesture by embedding the space-time relationship in the ephemeral splendor of its own beauty, upon which gleams of unreal light rest, the shades of which become the very body of a painting that rejects the concept of the painting as a closed place and, deep within the ego, where the liberating and vital act is confronted with contingent reality. [...] Atmospheres that, starting from the real, access a chromatic and formal dimension cloaked in bright and vivid colors, in which the sign bypasses the tangible to blend with the essence, preferring the depth of oneiric thought.
