COMMENTS:
EMMA DEL VALLE COMINOTTI, is renowned for her talent, versatility, originality and professional technique. Possessor of a unique style, bared to us in her paintings, due to her timeless thematic, where she uses art, not as a referent of the circumstantial and a context, in itself subject to a specific place and time, but going directly in search of the “essence” itself, so magnificently expressed in every one of her paintings, which makes her a superb “Essentialist” painter.
What do we understand as essential? That which is relative or pertaining to the Essence itself, that is to say, everything that is real and true hidden behind the curtain of the constant changes that all things which are apparent go through. Therefore not subject to time, and structure.
The relation between fact and essence, is that the former blends into the latter. Where Essence is privileged over the direct context and structured, basic elements present in all expressions of vanguard art.
The Essentialist form leads EMMA DEL VALLE COMINOTTI towards the elaboration of unreal scenarios where objects live in their own light far from the everyday reality, and close to their own realism, placed in a magical space, a unique region of memory. There are no men, women or children in her canvasses, only suggested figures or silhouettes, whose only identity resides in absolute appearances, where she finds, as few painters can, the perfect incarnation by creating her own world. This parallel world brings elements, ideas, feelings and humanity to life, and gives them new connotation and dimension.
What is palpable in EMMA DE VALLE, is her constant persistence to show us, enchant us, with the creation of environments and ambiences. She introduces us to mysterious planes, permanent enigmas, as an inner deep exploration of the unconscious. She reveals all that is occult in every object, as a ghost full of light and mystery that stops magically in front of us, revealing the final enigma of it’s deepest essence, both present and hiding in each one of her paintings.-
Her works have been acquired by Art Collectionists in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, France, the US and Chile.
