The artwork titled “Viandanti” by Stefania Gagliardi was created in 2017 using the medium of acrylic on canvas. It measures 39.4 inches in width and 27.6 inches in height. As a piece created within the abstract genre, it embraces the movements and principles of abstraction, which focuses on the use of color, form, and gestural marks to create its composition, rather than representing the external world directly.
The artwork itself is a vivid tapestry of colors, predominantly featuring warm hues such as yellows, reds, and oranges, juxtaposed with cooler tones of blues and greens. This rich palette appears to be applied with energetic and expressive brushstrokes, creating layers of color that seem to both clash and harmonize across the canvas. The chaotic interplay of strokes and the absence of discernible forms contribute to the abstract nature of the piece, inviting viewers to interpret the work through their own emotional and sensory experiences rather than through figurative recognition. The overall impression is one of dynamism and movement, akin to the bustling energy one might find in a dense urban environment or the natural fluctuations within a vivid dreamscape.
