About Big Mask Fountain:
I think of my paintings like windows on other realities, which are about to overflow in our own. This vision is a memory. I remember the ivy wall near the fountain, but when I returned there as an adult, the wall had been scraped clean in a strenuous and scrupulous restoration. I asked myself how it could be if, in the absence of human intervention, the ivy had been allowed to proliferate. The result is this painting.
The Mascherone fountain is located in Spoleto, my hometown, and it dates back to the Middle Ages.
As usual, I realized a preliminary study of the ivy on parchment paper.

Cinzia Marotta is a nature oil painter living and working in Umbria, Italy. Her realistic, but somewhat magical style is grounded by hard research and a scientific approach, aimed at capturing the mysterious, dark side of a natural world in stark contrast to an anthropocentric vision of our reality and culture.
As a teen, she studied in the atelier of famous Italian painter Pietro Sabatini, but then life took on a different path. After twenty years as an AD in a small company, she dropped everything to return to her art.
