Manuela Greco

Manuela Greco's art is the force generating an endless, almost obsessive, need of contemporaries to give reason to expressive impulse. With an understanding of classical figurative painting which, starting from the perspective of the Renaissance period, Manuela moulds her art through the twentieth-century experiences typical of the Avant-garde.

The admirable use of neutral colors justifies the deliberate search for a painting of the soul. A painting that before being transposed, is an expression of the feeling of the artist whether it takes shape in figure or in color. Manuelas' paintings plunge into the depths of the ether, successfully attempting to give shape to the ineffable, to capture a feeling, a movement of emotion, reproduced in an unfinished gaze or vulnerable body.

A thoughtful but fast, fresh painting style, with a firm brushstroke, which allows the work to hover between the said and the unsaid, invites the viewer to be able to play with the fantasy among the shades of the backgrounds. Paintings that birth from the intensity of emotion bringing them to life, similar to photographic shots that capture a decisive moment, elevate Manuelas' art into the realms of mastership. The moment in which life remains suspended between what happens and what will never be.
