ABOUT ANNEMARIE AMBROSOLI

Artist Statement

In my work, color is the central element, used as a tool for communication to convey positivity and joy in an increasingly chaotic and uncertain world. Through vibrant tones and flat, uniform color surfaces, I aim to create an atmosphere of vitality and harmony. My stylized figures, characterized by flowing and contemporary movements, are often adorned with imaginative details such as earrings, hats, and hairstyles that amplify their uniqueness and dynamism. My focus is on the essentiality of forms and their visual impact, where the mouth, with few essential lines, becomes the expressive core, conveying feelings and emotions directly.

Artistic Evolution

Annemarie Ambrosoli began her artistic journey with landscape painting, studying nature through the use of oil on canvas. However, in 2016 she embarked on a new creative path, evolving her style toward an original language. Today, her work stands out for its use of essential geometries, vibrant colors, and stylized figures that portray a contemporary and dynamic vision of humanity. She continues to explore various techniques, such as watercolor and pastel on paper, integrating imaginative and innovative elements into her works.

Childhood and Artistic Training

From a young age, Annemarie developed a passion for painting during visits to her uncle, the painter Ercole Frigoli. Fascinated by his oil paintings of landscapes and still lifes, Annemarie began painting at the age of 15. Her artistic journey continued with in-depth training between 1992 and 1998 at the IFAP (Internationale Ferienakademie Bruneck). There, she honed her technique, studying landscapes, still life, nudes, and portraiture—elements that deeply influenced her subsequent work.

Artistic Techniques and Style

En plein air landscape painting was at the core of her artistic output, initially focusing on traditional oil techniques and later using palette knife on wood, a technique that became her signature. Her works explore changes in light and tone, with a particular focus on detail and color vibrancy. Over time, she evolved her style, bridging the gap between outdoor painting and fantasy while developing an increasingly abstract and emotionally rich visual language.

Exhibitions and Awards

Annemarie has exhibited her work in numerous galleries and international fairs. Until 2016, she primarily showcased landscape paintings, gaining recognition for her palette knife technique and sensitivity to light and color. Since 2017, she has begun exhibiting a new body of work focused on stylized figures, receiving growing international acclaim.

Future Projects

From 2008 to 2021, she lived in Carinthia, Austria, a period during which she developed her artistic exploration. In 2022, she returned to South Tyrol, her homeland, where she continues her creative journey with renewed inspiration, exploring new figurative languages and further evolving her use of color.

In 2025, Annemarie will present her works at major art fairs such as Expoarte in Montichiari and Art3f in cities like Lyon, Milan, Montecarlo, Paris, and Brussels, further solidifying her artistic language on the international stage.
