Giada Rotundo
Artist in Italy
Her works are a delicate fusion of nature, mythology, and the ethereal. By blending celestial elements—such as stars, the sun, and planets—with creatures from the natural world, she evokes a sense of wonder and introspection. Birds, butterflies, and even mythical animals like dragons, drawn from medieval iconography, populate her compositions, creating a tapestry that bridges the gap between the real and the fantastical. The color green frequently serves as a grounding force in her work, symbolizing the vitality and continuity of nature. This lush, vibrant backdrop draws the viewer’s eye, inviting a deeper exploration into the symbolic significance of the creatures that inhabit it.
A distinctive characteristic of her paintings is their ethereal, almost fragile quality. Often executed on sheets of plexiglass or glass, her works carry the translucence and delicacy of Murano glass, enhancing their lightness and inviting the viewer to look through and beyond the surface.
She holds a Master’s degree in Painting, earned in 2017 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan,where traditional techniques meet contemporary sensibilities. Through her paintings, she invites viewers into a world where nature, history, and myth intertwine, creating a space of contemplation and discovery.
