Patricia Maiocco | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Patricia Maiocco
  • France
Patricia grew up in a heterogeneous family universe. The French bourgeoisie, the Italian proletariat, Catholicism and Buddhism made her very quickly aware of the richness of differences. \At the age of 20, Patricia was meticulous, patient and creative, and at the same time she entered the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. After her studies, she worked for several years in interior decoration and at the same time she devoted herself to her personal creation: painting on canvas. \nPatricia wishes to express in colors, textures and atmospheres her passion for Asia. Her inspirations are multiple: she gives a great importance to the Asian beliefs and philosophies that she retranscribes in the background of her paintings. \She works with meticulousness on Asian prayer papers that she maroons. The background reveals Chinese ideograms (meaning prosperity or welcome), words stolen from old books or written with a quill pen and sepia ink. \His favorite theme is the still life. The canvas, once enriched with meaning and matter, is ready to receive the main subject: fruits and vegetables (oil painting). Patricia likes to evoke objects or characters that are familiar to her and draws her inspiration from her surroundings. Her child in a pensive attitude, the page of crumpled paper on which she has just done her homework or the cloud that crosses the summer sky lasciviously are moments of life from which she extracts the details. She paints with spontaneity to express "simplicity and timelessness". \nThe great painters Piero Della Francesca (14th century, Italian) and Johannes Vermeer (17th century, Flemish) also nourish her inspiration. \nPainting has become a necessity in her life. In 2001, Patricia decided to devote herself entirely to her passion and left her job to embark on this adventure. From then on, she multiplied her exhibitions in France and abroad. \n
