BRUNA SORDI

SORDI BRUNA ARTISTIC CURRICULUM

BRUNA SORDI born in Spresiano where she lives and has her studio.

She finds ART in 2002, when, by chance, she attends a course of painting and drawing. From those days, she met and followed several local painters and, attracted by color she didn’t leave pencils and brushes ever again.

She needs brushes and paddles, that she moves nimbly using acrylic colors and other materials to obtain the requested result. Her neverending shades of color design landscapes directly from her soul.

She uses oil colors but also other materials, studying very creative compositions. She loves colors and uses materials with strong emotive tension which is fundamental to create these landscapes.

She joined some local groups of painters (Artisti Spresianesi and Artisti Trevigiani). She attended some collective exhibits and several national contests where she got compliments and approvals for her spontaneous and personal interpretation of colors.

Critical review

Bruna Sordi bore as a natural landscape painter focused on her territory, Treviso province, near Venice. From the beginning she showed impatience for the figurative art and pushed herself to find the elements needed to create an evocative lyric abstraction.

Sustained by a strong desire of raising the image, in these last years Bruna tracks the path to go beyond the traditional concept of landscape to embrace a new materic personal creation. From Ciardi’s tradition of 1800, the artist went through ‘900 sperimentation’s maze to achieve her poetical dimension: creating an elegiac narration through images. This story creates silent images, whose contents slightly emerge the visitors’ awareness through the title or a small text. From the shapeless chaos, due to the manipulation of materials, Bruna pushes us to find a real landscape, even if it is difficult to identify it in its original geographical belonging.

Nevertheless, we always recognize a well-known shape, from a scraped wall to an underwater landscape. Bruna never forgot the reality, never lost herself in her own conscience’s maze and she keep her feet on the ground through the materiality of what she saw and, pictorially, gave back. The original elements of her pictorial technique can be mainly seen in her desire of mixing up materials when she spreads and combines them on canvas. So the easily describable shapes like “Fiori di barena”, “Prati Fioriti” and “Campagna trevigiana”, little by little lose their boundaries to gain an all-around dimension.

From details to the overall, branches, flowers, farmed lands and rushes becomes red expanses, “Frammenti d’acqua” (Fragments of Water) and “Frammenti di vita” (Fragments of Life). This abstracting action brings a strong psychological dimension, since Bruna’s intention is to built non-impressionist images. Her aim is finding a pictorial dimension to represent what is beyond the mere perception of objective reality to give us back a subjective vision of nature.

All her canvas keep the artist’s vision intact, her eye looks at the reality after studying and interiorizing it for long. It’s easy to identify yourself with this individual dimension, even if it’s subjective and particularistic, and for this reason it becomes universal. The “Frammenti di bosco” (Fragments of Woods) or, in general, “Frammenti di natura” (Fragments of Nature) belong to any geographical site and allow us to overwrite them with our own impressions, in a neverending back and forth of memories.

From a professional growth point of view, Bruna started a precise path of poetic construction of landscapes, leaving out the excess and unnecessary as well as mere decorative elements to achieve the creation of her own abstract style that allows her to stand out and create always new iconographies.
