Rosa Maria Piatti/Viver De Arte
Rosa Maria Piatti is a native of Brazil, with a degree in architecture and urban studies. But she has always been drawn to art and her current work in wood and porcelain reflects both her interest in experimentation and the influence of her Amazonian roots.
The similarity between her life story and that of fellow Brazilian artist Ana Maia (also represented at gallery8010) is more than coincidental. The two artists are sisters, and from their shared origins and early influences have carved very different artistic paths.
African culture and the fusion of Afro-Brazilian themes and tones have inspired much of Rosa Maria’s art. At the same time, her training as an architect has led her to focus on purity of line and refinement of form. Her porcelain painting adds an element of delicacy. The resulting art works express both exuberance and a harmonious elegance. Rosa Maria’s work has received numerous international awards, and can be found in galleries and exhibitions throughout North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East.
