James Dean (2012) Drawing by Martina Purificato

Martina Purizzato was born in Gaeta (LT) on 07/11/1989. Among his earliest memories are pencils, pastel colors and the smell of paper. In fact, since early childhood, Martina has shown a strong sensitivity for drawing, thanks to the observation of her father, also a self-taught painter. His great passion is that of the representation of the human face and body - deriving from those very first experiments in which he copied Greek statues from school books. Without the possibility of following any art course, Martina's manual skills grow with her continuous dedication, which leads her to perfect the portrait technique and, on the other, the rise of curiosity towards new techniques and subjects. The versatility of the techniques, means of expression and subjects represented is what is most particular in Martina's work. Currently, he dedicates himself to oil painting, watercolor inks and the study of digital graphics - without ever abandoning his ancient passion. She has illustrated covers for novels and is co-founder of the Galleria Angoli di Colore, an artistic promotion association made up of artists who organize exhibitions and cultural events. She is currently completing her master's studies in Philosophy, a discipline which has certainly also favored her in her artistic production, as it has allowed her to acquire that ability to penetrate reality which finds expression in the features of her creations.
