Light Harmony and Optimism in images – Ideas of
Beatrice Palazzetti (go back)
A cream and pink sky with flashes of light blue is mirrored in a mass of water which reflects its colours. Four shapes on a pink and baby blue background, bring to mind moving dolphins; one is bigger and three smaller, they are beautiful and baby blue and they are playing games together. A green triangle welcomes within itself bright threads like flashes of lightning that reach its three vertexes to lay down then at its base. A great well shaped with light blue lines seashell, moving from a corner, widens itself forming larger and larger waves in an increasing of sound and music.
QThese short flashes about Beatrice Palazzetti's works are a very small attempt to present her work in its wholeness; they are only enough to give an idea of what this young artist creates day by day.
This style of painting comes from an aesthetic and emotional need which refuses every figurative scheme. It only aims at proceeding along invention; it nicely matches itself up with a fascinating serenity, supported by the awareness that everything pulses and lives within its own particular rhythm.
The artist is always after the extrinsic value of something that could fully express her mood. The artist tries to save her works from any talkative development because she wants to create an atmosphere in whose clearness the shapes can be ordered and completed in order to reach an emotional solicitation which often becomes lyric tension. Structures of an apparent simplicity tries to neutralize the matter to project themselves in a game which is the result of a meeting between evanescent unrealities around real elements… No heaps of colours but clear description of “ideas-images” which reach a non-temporal location. Such a description is always valid and vibrating and it has something real in itself. It's the desire of the Artist that catches this “something real” in its happiest moment.
This painting is usually defined as “clearist”, but it is not possible to label Beatrice Palazzetti in this way because even if her works are “clear”, it is only because they reflect the joyful genuineness which is set in every one of them. Her colours are “purified” to exalt the whole, banning any possible sadness.
The composition is synthetic and the elements that compose it are relatively limited because the author, supported by feeling and intelligence, does not love “crowded” works which not always appear balanced nor refined. We do not find the nervous search for “the Classics” in her works. We only find optimistic aiming that creates shapes, decorates them of light colours and wrap them in solar light.
