  • Nicola Samorì

    03.05.11

    Nicola Samorì‘s beautiful, technically accomplished, dark-palette paintings are distorted renditions of Baroque works, giving new life to an old style. Her “Neo-Baroque” art is “aggressively overwhelming and beautiful.” Often the faces of the figures in these paintings are obscured with a surreal, milky veil or a tempestuous, boldly structured smear of gray.
