Old window with flowers - Bifora (2022) Painting by Antonietta Varallo

Taranto (Puglia, South Italy) born and adoptive Leghornese (Leghorn, Tuscany) Antonietta Varallo, first approached painting at the young age of fifteen. A student in the “Trossi Umberto” free academy of Voltolino Fontani for about one year, she later pursued her studies under the guidance of maestro Luciano Torsi with whom she attained full artistic maturity over a span of eighteen years of teaching. In 1976 she was awarded the “Chimera Città di Arezzo” prize. She is, to this day, a honorary teacher of the “Macchiavello”Academy of Florence and the “G.Marconi” of Bologna. The influence of various aspects of nature represents the criteria which essentially and predominantly shape Antonietta Varallo’s pictorial anthology.

Her flower-covered gardens, her enchanted Tuscan landscapes and the prevalence of veiled hues that hold sway in her paintings represent for us the awareness that this talented painter, gifted with a great creativity, can amaze us and have us rediscover long-forgotten unique sensations. In Varallo’s paintings time has not stopped but just floats in a surreal atmosphere that makes us uncover velvety landscapes, pastel colours and romantic views of that land, Tuscany, we all hold dear.
Varallo’s works are amongst private collections in the USA, Japan and Germany.
