Biographical Information about the Artist

Maria Pia Delledonne,born in 1969,gained an interest in painting as a very young child,thus inheriting the passion and talent from two cousins of her maternal grandfather,both professional artists.Her passion in fact grew over the years and so when she was about 11 years old her mother,counsel,also,from her school art teacher that had noticed her talent,decided to have her take private lessons.Her interest ranged from pencils,Indian links,charcoals,pastels that lead into temperas,cloth painting,acrylics and oils which she had always favoured.
At a certain point in her artistic studies,she decided to learn about watercolor which has now become her preference.While she was learning the different forms of painting,she discovered to have a particular talent for maintaining her own artistic individuality and creativity,something not very easy to do considering most tend to emulate their mentors and obtain their distinctiveness.It is an ability to be proud of since it has made it possible for her to  connect the art she has created to herself and not to some present-day artistic correlation.
The artist really enioys playing with the white of the cotton-paper,(in watercolour,white,as a colour,does not exist.One needs to know how to create it by using the white of the cotton-paper),and painting the water with its magical reflections,furthermore she has a true preference for landscapes,for nature in general,flowers,butterflies.....( she is,also,an agricultural expert,passionate about non -traditional medicines,playing chess and taking photography).
The artist passes easily from hyperrealism/photorealism to impressionism,playing with the two styles of art,creating delicate or bright colours,(yet never overwhelming),on the wake of the Fauvista movement imitating sometimes oil painting,as what occurred at the beginning of the XX Century,(see "Historical Information About Watercolours"),or she plays transparency games,(something she really prefers),even if she does not love excessive lightness which today many used with watercolours.The lightness of the colours,transparency games that can be created during the making of the painting,the velvety effects and the fascination of this technique's difficulty are all irresistible stimuli to create,especially when comparing them with the simplicity of the oil painting,tempera and acrylics,which can be easily corrected and modified at anytime.Moreover the artist does not use tonality of pure color,even if created in good number from the firm to facilitate and to make quicker the job of the artists,but she Matches the colors so to Create exclusively Personal Tonalities giving an unique touch to her works of art.Every painting is realized personally from the painter,peremptorily is excluded the intervention of whichever external collaborator in the execution of the painting.The intervention of collaborators  in the various stages of the painting is today praxis much diffuse and it permit to realize very greit quantity of paintings then signed from the artist.The painter,instead,does not follow these rules of business,therefore the painting,in every its part,(colors,tonality,lights and shades,etc),personally is executed Only and Exclusively from the painter.A type of execution that  needs time but it guarantees to the buyer the possession of a work fo art to the hundreds for hundreds,made from the artist.Moreover,the production not in series adopted from the artist  and therefore the creation of limited quantity of works annually,with the realization of personal tonalities,is between the factors that allow a remarkable increment of the value of the works of art in passing of the years.
