Sobre el Artista

Elisabetta De Maria was born in Genoa and lived in Bardonecchia, in the Piedmontese Alps. Sin as a child she cultivated a passion for drawing and painting, so much so that she won the contest titled “A flower in your mouth” sponsored by the branded toothpaste Colgate. Growing up, the music absorbed his soul, getting the better of painting so much become his main activity, he graduated in piano in just 5 years with honors (10/10) al Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Turin. She has been teaching piano for 35 years now, but, over the years, she begins to attend courses with Italian and American painting teachers that lead her to deepen new techniques discovering a true and profound passion for decorative and country painting. Then the dispassionate love, discovered as a shock, for portraits with pastels, a dowry which turns into an incredible production of hyper-realistic works, which he exhibits in several exhibitions. Pastels are the most immediate and natural choice for the artist, engaged in a personal one pursuit of perfection, which he chases by faithfully reproducing (in an impressive way!) every single detail of photos and images. Hyperrealism as a tool, therefore, for a meticulous representation of reality, constant, a challenge that allows you to test yourself, but not only! If it is true that works include portraits, it is also true that Elizabeth chases and seals her boundless love for animals in their representation: dogs, cats, but also exotic animals, taken from frames or images found by chance on the net from which she is, in a single instant, electrocuted. Precisely for this reason among the main subjects of the works we find the animals, with the in order to raise awareness on the issues of abandonment and extinction. On May 16, 2019 at the Wichita Convention in the United States, she was awarded the Board of Directors: Certified Decorative Artist and is the only Italian artist to have obtained the title, she is part of the American magazines Pixelated Palette, Painting Ezine, Painting World Magazine, Colored Pencil Magazine and of Canadian magazine from Quebec, Coup de Pinceau.
