landscape Painting

White landscape oil painting on canvas original painting one of a kind diptych overall dimensions 130x92 (65x92 each single canvas) Marilina Marchica, born in 1984, was born in Agrigento, where she lives and works. She graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in 2008 she trained with Luca Caccioni, Giovanni Mundula and Adriano Bacilieri. Marilina Marchica focuses her research on the theme of subtraction and the aesthetics of the sign. Her pictorial investigation goes to the limit of abstraction thanks to a reflection on architecture and, in particular, on the wall as an internal / external diaphragm and a metaphor for the relationships between man, nature and time. The architectures take on a symbolic value in relation to collapses and demolitions and impose themselves as a metaphor for a universal and existential dimension. Marilina Marchica has been the protagonist of various personal exhibitions such as those promoted by the FAM Gallery in Agrigento, San Sebastiano Contemporary - Casa Bramante in Palazzolo Acreide, Spazio HUS in Milan. In addition to the site-specific intervention designed for the crypt of the Church of Santa Maria del Piliere in Palermo, we recall the participation in the 2nd edition of the FAM Award - Fabbriche Chiaramontane in Agrigento and in the artist residence at Villa Aurea - Valle dei Templi, promoted by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage of Agrigento. In 2021 she was invited to participate in the project "Visioni Oblique, Artist's Books, Object Books, Phototexts for the Belice". Marilina Marchica's works have been published in sector magazines and volumes such as "The New Collectors Book" (New York, 2015) and are present in public and private collections in Italy and foreign countries, including the Chiaramontane factories of Agrigento and the Museum of Mediterranean Weaves Fondazione Orestiadi of Gibellina.
