As god of the seas, Tritone (Neptune) rules the thunder and all that exists in the vastness of our ocean waters be it a mirror of calm or a frothy, powerful storm. Superstitious sailors would pray to this god for safe deliverance to the other side.
The heavily textured painting is meant to capture the force of mighty Triton as he thunders across the seas, on his hippocampus (half horse, half snake) spewing up foam and waves in their wake. On the left a calming angel (woman) later adopted on bowsprits, thought to bring good fortune and safe passage.

Born in Bordeaux, France, by the age of six Patrizia had crisscrossed three continents. At age seven Patrizia was creating geometric abstracts in oil pastels. School years saw Patrizia the recipient of numerous art prizes, culminating in a Gold — National Scholastic Key Award in New York. She graduated Magna Cum Laude in graphic design at Art Institute of Atlanta and spent 25 years in marketing and communications at the helm of a top Houston, Texas design firm. In 2000 Patrizia returned to her art full time, opening a Caribbean studio in 2005.
Patrizia's art is found in museums, public gardens and private collections across the globe. Her largest commission: a 12 sqm (35 sql) mosaic swimming pool overlooking the Caribbean waters. Her art is showcased in "Mosaic Art Today", a fine art book featuring top international artists, Schiffer Publishing, NY. Patrizia relocated to Italy in 2016 seeking new influences and further artistic growth. She opened at the Ligurian State Museum marventimiglia.com with "Madre Terra: In our Hands" in the summer of 2019. The three-month solo show featured 27 paintings and three large statues.
Her life and art, a divide between "Old World" and "New World" examines cultural differences, spirituality and beliefs, interpretations of past influences, societal change and interchange. Her lighter and brighter works reflect beauty, hope and a gratefulness to nature — motion and texture playing an important part in her creations. The plight of women and humanity in our contemporary culture is also a focus in Patrizia's work, "those who live a life they did not choose — of freedom in absentia."
Today, Patrizia continues her studied in ancient civilizations and archeology, a passion acquired during her years living and travel in the Mediterranean and Texas . . . and her journey of exploration and diversity continues — of place, culture and time.
