About artist
Caterina Spatafora was born in Messina. After living in Rome, she now lives and works in Milan.
Self-taught artist, attracted in particular by informal painting, she tries to "frame the world" through the representation of geometric figures that occupy the centrality of the canvas, evoking diaphragms of cameras, rising, the same geometric form, to dignity of art. His canvases play on a range of possible chromatic nuances that passion or love, affection, friendship or other moods, suggest and then compose in a pleasant overall harmony. Caterina Spatafora seems to be inspired by the "musical staves" from the rhythms dictated by the most subtle feeling, sunk in the infinite range of colors of the soul. Rich kaleidoscope of variegated chromatic facets of feeling. Of it the critics expressed "in her every landscape, every building, every sea or country view is a search for compositional elements; all this, however, is a pretext to express her insatiable longing for light and color, thus achieving a compositional abstraction that is a completely personal artistic expression. The artist from Messina since 2004, has to his credit several extemporaneous works in the Province of Rome and Milan; in particular we mention the exhibition in 2004 in Rome at the Teatro Euliclide and in Milan in 2011 with "Colori e Design" at Grand Visconti Palace. The 2005 sees her in Brussels at the Salon Permanent De L'Art and in 2008 in Barcelona (Spain) at the Global Gallery. In 2010 in Taormina (Me) an itinerant exhibition in collaboration with the Museo della Permanente in Milan. She participated in 2009 at the Biennial of Art "centauressa" in Taormina and in 2009 at the "Florence Biennale". Caterina Spatafora gave life to many personal exhibitions, we mention among many: in 2004 at Palazzo Zanca in Messina; in the following year at the Archaeological Museum of Villa Genovesi; in Rome titled "THOUGHS AND EMOTIONS REFLECTED IN COLOUR" again in 2008 in Messina "COLOUR, ART AND FEELING", in Milan in 2011 with "EMOTIONS FROM COLOURS".
