Maria Laura Berlinguer by Stile Italiano presents Feofeo "The alchemist of colour"
The Art of painting the soul
"If she were matter, she would be water.... If she were fabric, she would surely be silk.... If she were music, she would be Vivaldi’s Gloria..."
After the portraits of Laura Aprile, we are pleased to introduce a new artist, Federica Oddone, the painter known as Feofeo, on our blog.
She lives in Asti, in the province of Piedmont, and her work raises us up, expressing the true vibrations of the soul with colored shadows and tonal differences.
Federica was born in Alessandria, a small city also in Piedmont, near Milan and Turin. Ethereal, sophisticated and ladylike, she has always cultivated a passion for art guided and inspired by her strong family ties.
The name Feofeo is a pun (play on words) (feo in Spanish means ugly).
Starting out as an artist, it wasn’t long before Federica abandoned figurative painting in order to express her deeper inner impressions. She does so with a simple gradation of color, sometimes with sweetness sometimes with the force of a hurricane.
My artistic feeling is a steady stream of intuitive thinking, a continuous sound message that comes from my heart and turns into colour... "My thoughts on the canvas", that's the way I like to call my works, since they are endless posts of cosmic connection to me, sometimes decipherable in frequencies that I represent as horizontal coloured bands, sometimes interrupted, sometimes continuous colour sequences intended as musical scores.
Feofeo defies trends and conventionality. With her art, she tries to give shape to thoughts and to represent and interpret the human soul.
Painting is to Feofeo is a way to access to such hidden part of the human spirit, and this is why she is urged to search deeply into the darkest and most unknown corners of the consciousness, bringing an amazing inner dimension into the canvas.
In this way she works as an alchemist, allowing the colour itself to express the sacredness of the soul.
We must take time to linger on her works of art, to enter them with our mind, caress the nuances of color with our gaze, and appreciate the infinite perceptions of space and the overlapping of matter. Only if you look at them with an open mind, will the works reveal themselves to you as portals leading to another world, full of veiled and subliminal messages.
If it is true that art must convey a message, look no further than up to the paintings by Federica Oddone, the artist Feofeo, for they will fill your soul.
Great work Federica!
