The artist
Anna Tozzi, Rome
Anna Tozzi in art ATò, was born in Rome in June 10th 1965. Having graduated in Graphic Design and Advertising at the European Institute of Design, she adds two years of work experience for a graphics studio to her credits followed by a series of collaborations for the conception and design of logos and coordinated images.
Following her passion for painting, she has been working for years as a painter, exploring and testing a personal technique that revolves around the expression of emotions through colour and matter.
Reflecting the changing spirit of the artist, ATò's paintings begin to show their inner expressive content as they are created: the mix of acrylic and PVA glue is poured onto the canvas and spread with a brush or palette knife, creating lines and boundaries.
The initial brushes and colour tones are not the real ones, and the painting only takes on its final shape and colour when it dries, forming a more distinct ‘mark’, as if to convey the imprint of the artist's emotional state.
