Translations of critical reviews: • Text “in memoriam” of Mila Ryk, published in the site gallery and in N. 44 of the magazine “Art & Beyond”, march 2017 (original). On January 24, 2017 the art community lost a wonderful human being, friend and artist, Anna Maria Giordano. Anna passed on after a very long and brave battle with Lymphoma. She was and still is a dear friend and member of Art & Beyond Publications and her artwork will continue to grace the pages of our Online Magazine. It has been a great pleasure to have had the opportunity to publish her latest work entered right before her unfortunate and untimely passing. The Art World has lost a wonderful artist but her spirit lives on through her work which we will continue to enjoy for many years to come.
• Text of Monia Malinpensa, published in the flyer of “Mostra d’arte di Natale” (Christmas Art Exhibition), October 2016. (8 paintings) (original in Italian). The artist Anna Maria Giordano shows, through a deep expressiveness, that can translate any descriptive element in true emotion, a pictorial discourse important and very personal. She, with a research that goes from figurative to abstract, shows an evolution of concrete outcome. Memories, fantasies, moments, dreams and feelings live in the artwork in a context of symbolic and chromatic gestures of original creative effect. The volumetric system, of impressive implementation, and the construction of the surface, of remarkable structure, give us a very modern vision of shape and concept, with evident chiaroscuro qualities. In a surreal atmosphere, always respectful towards humanity, the artist Giordano describes a painting dense of meanings and of poetic consistency. The wider and firm brushwork, the definite and dominant color and the clear and concise tract result in an interpretative incisiveness continually explored. The value of the human figure is for the artist widely expressed within the artwork and outlines a particular sensitivity. It is a painting, that of Anna Giordano, conceived with passion and spiritual wealth always imbued with values, where one breathes the love for neighbor to whom it conveys a message of hope and peace.
• Text of Manlio Gaddi, published as introduction in the official catalog of the solo exhib “Il vissuto dell’esperienza” (The lived experience), September 2016. (28 paintings) (original in Italian, digest). You can see in the varied artworks by Anna Maria Giordano the research into an ultimate end of painting: to transform every kind of experience, from the dream to the everyday life, from the microscope to the stars vision, from realism to Anna Giordano
