ARTEDATO

Maria Andrea Dato production is centered on the Human Being and its emotions. A deep inner search framed in expressionist style. She has been attracted to art since she was a child, eager to play with different materials, relieves and textures. In essence, making art has defined her. Her artwork consisted in a permanent search and experimental activity. The nature and human figure observation it's her constant practiced, (the last one in drawings jams with live model). Dato's work does not involve planning and previous thinking. It is the paint itself, in this case synthetic enamel, that flows dynamically and free on the canvas to build the idea that results in the piece, frequently surprising even her with the final result. She ordered the colors following an emotional and sensitive criterion, in a formal game where the paint flows in a dynamic and unpredictable way. Her extremely enjoyed in dripping the enamel on the canvas is linked to Jackson Pollock 's "action painting". First, she starts drawing the image, then the game with the paint is to loosed the figure to get it back again. In a permanent construction and destruction. Chaos and control, control and chaos and so on. "My own flight" becomes from a series of winged women and men, who after living painful experiences, achieve spiritual enrichment, evolved and were able to spread their wings. She is currently working on the development of the "Fallen Angels" series.
