Artists Statement

Eduardo Giannattasio lives and works in a 13 th century palazzo in Italy. His paintings have been shown throughout Europe.

These painting are the result of a technique the artist perfected in his studio that celebrates and honors a source of light and warmth used for ages --- fire.

He starts by splashing pigmented stains diluted with alcohol on a canvas. He watches as the stains drip and blend. Then he sets the fireproofed canvas on fire. The flames evaporate revealing a figurative abstractionism.

The figures that emerge from the artist’s subconscious are created by the magical and mystical transformative qualities of the fire.

This series of paintings was inspired by the art of seduction.
