Floria Otis-Rosimiro

ABOUT ME

The daughter and granddaughter of painters, musicians and singers, I was born (and still ive) in Paris, into a highly artistic family. A soprano myself specialised in Italian opera, I have the sense of theatre and this comes across in the colour and richness of detail in my compositions.

Having inherited from my grandfather, the bolognese portraitist Cesare Bacchi, a pronounced taste for the portrait, I turned quite naturally towards the human figure.

Influenced by the symbolist movement in painting, the Art Deco period, and more particularly by artists such as Gustav KLIMT, Fernand KHNOPFF and James TISSOT, the proud, slender Amazons which I delight in painting take their direct inspiration from contemporary fashion. It’s no coincidence that I exhibited on Avenue Montaigne in Paris, the mecca of Parisian fashion, on International Women’s Day.

Highly sensitive to Japanese art, from which I learnt the importance of line and precision in the representation of colour and pattern on fabric, I attach the utmost importance to detail, and take meticulous pains to capture the precise nature of the texture and tissues I am painting.

EDUCATION

I started with studies in pencil and charcoal. I worked for a while in pastel before devoting myself completely to oils, the technique for which I acquired by copying the paintings of the Old Italian and Dutch Masters.
