About his Art

Anna Maria Trinchieri was born in Rome, where she lives and works.

Graduated in Art Criticism at La Sapienza University of Rome, she taught Literature subjects in State Middle School.

For several years he has been President of the Art Arvalia Onlus artistic-cultural association, active from 2006 to the present in promoting and spreading Culture, Art, and environmental and local values, on a non-profit basis, solely for solidarity and social benefit. The Association has established its presence in Rome, in the area of Municipio XI Arvalia Portuense, and has distinguished itself as one of the first Cultural Volunteer Associations by organizing about a hundred Exhibitions and Art Events, Drawing and Painting Courses, Debates on art topics, and guided tours in the city of Rome.

Anna Maria Trinchieri, throughout her long and rich cultural-artistic career, before organizing and taking part in Events and Exhibitions of the Art Arvalia Onlus Association, exhibited in numerous Shows, in prestigious Galleries in Rome and elsewhere, took part in major Events, in Competitions in Italy and abroad, receiving important Awards, Critics’ Awards, medals, cups, Certificates of merit, Recognitions. Some of her works are held in institutional venues and in private Collections.

She began painting, driven to escape the worn-out boundaries of reality, by delving into her own inner life. True emotions set down on paper, a will to go beyond her limits, a renewed sense of harmony and balance, soft graded lines, symbols of spiritual ascent and a search for the unknown, swirls of color and light in hidden or revealed forms, eyes that want to probe discover exalt communicate secrets memories dreams: her paintings.

At the root of this and other painting experiences, which seem to start more from the representation of reality and in which various techniques are used, from watercolor to acrylic, tempera, oil, on different supports, what remains essential for the Artist is the love for nature and for the creatures that must, in any case, be expressed through patches of color: for this reason, in all her works, even the more “figurative” ones, a common thread can be found, the urgency to convey feeling, which gives them a distinctive quality and a unique style.

Paintings arise from an inner need, spring from the depths of the soul and are understood through an immediate sense of feeling. Feeling is something that belongs to the individual’s uniqueness, to their resources and to the particular moment in which they express it. What is within us is more creative than any other outward manifestation.

Among the countless artistic expressions that have offered various ways of reading reality, the work that conveys the needs of the unconscious Self is harder to understand, yet it is alive for those who can create connections with the archetypes of the collective Unconscious.

The Review

CRITICAL REVIEWS ON ANNA MARIA TRINCHIERI

2000-2018

“…The unbridled imagination of Anna Maria Trinchieri, the creative impetuosity and the vitality of her tones give rise to surprising bordered forms, as if enclosed in a coloured lace behind which lies an exuberance now made more modest. The previous swollen and voluptuous figures now seem to stretch out and open up, leading the viewer’s gaze into the third dimension of space, inviting it to scan that distant horizon in the turquoise wave swept by the wind, high up, against a candy-pink sky; to rest on a far clearing amid bluish mountains; or to set off toward a luminous landscape that brightens between the dark branches of an ancient, gnarled tree clinging to the sea cliff; or again to touch the petals of a gigantic sky-blue iris seen through the transparency of a crystal pearled with dew; elsewhere to chase the yellow light of a comet plunging into the shadowy volcano; or to dive into the deep velvet of a majestic red rose. And yet nothing is real; the wave, the tree, the flower, the comet can become something else entirely; they are, in fact, “evanescences” that draw the attention and curiosity of the observer who, questioning the mystery of meanings, is led to undertake a path of conquest and discovery of their own inner world, until coming to identify with the artist’s imaginative sensibility…”

Valeria Pallante 2001

“…Trinchieri gives voice to the sound of origins, in a vigorous concert of openings and encounters: her style sails in that fluid of which the mystics speak; hers is a painting of love, which contemplates the heights and lets others enjoy its reverberation: the mystery is revealed in luminous energies and the vertical becomes accessible depth. There is a supreme point toward which minds strive: this kind of painting recalls it; through the conceiving of essence, which becomes an approximate element, like the choreographies of flame, the painter makes the most heartrending of runs. She conceives what her talent allows, and more, the theories of intuition. In the works the spiritual yearning is evident, the accord of soul and body, the feeling available in contemplation and in the study of abyssal movements: the firmament is a higher abyss of certainties. Trinchieri tells it, with exemplary simplicity, and invites immersion in the immense, for an encounter with oneself, face to face with the energies that shape thought: to extend beyond the dividing wall, to burn distances, to harmonize with the whole, connecting to the root to hear the universal heartbeat and to love it…”

Maria Teresa Palitta 2001

“Rebirth” - “What matters in Anna Maria Trinchieri’s work is that the image ‘happens’, that is, it is not foreseen by the project, and that it is placed in that interactive space between the psyche’s core activity and the need for definition, the need for meaning. In this space, I believe, every innovative and evolutionary possibility of the image is always determined”

Ennio Calabria 2002

“Terrorism in the world...2015” –

Palazzo Ferrajoli - Rome 2017

“Well, the freedom of troubled innards...”

Ennio Calabria 2017

“…The works of Anna Maria Trinchieri: color that becomes content thought poetry…”

Mara Ferloni

“…A beautiful chromatic proposal, that of Trinchieri, where the essential nature of abstraction gives the viewer unique emotions…”

Nicolina Bianchi

The work of A. M. Trinchieri: everything is a gust of wind. “Rebirth” may look like a flower, a spacecraft, a window onto infinity…”

Saverio Ungheri

“In recent years A.M. Trinchieri has further developed her artistic experience. Her technical process of pouring color recalls Jackson Paul Pollock’s ‘action painting’, so that, setting the subject aside, the color poured onto the canvas composes and overlaps almost ‘by chance’, creating images. While in Pollock the color is poured dry, in her painting it spreads in water with surprising softness and layering. The mysterious forms thus generated can evoke memories, dreams, imaginings, emotions from which the artist draws inspiration to bring her own soul to the surface. Even the great Leonardo, looking at the shapeless masses of clouds, managed to see fanciful images… The forms created by the Artist’s hand directly on the canvas with color recall the formless masses of the cosmos at the dawn of life, waiting to be revealed, made concrete; her role is to bring them forth. Thus, to the viewer, certain ‘things’ appear and disappear in liquid essences that recall some surrealist works by S. Dalì. In the body of works, the pure, luminous color of swirling masses creates a new music—now dramatic with strong contrasts, now most delicate with barely perceptible nuances. I would say her painting has the effect of visual music and, as such, it surprises the eye and strikes the soul, making us see what might be, or might have been, beyond the visible.”

Paola Salvini

“Painter A. M. Trinchieri has a historic responsibility in what she does. The walls of homes will be cleared of the old paintings of landscapes, flowers, still lifes, etc., which will be replaced by hers, in a world governed by women. Hers is an art that cannot be placed in time, yet, being born today, will take us into the third millennium. And she will be there, in the front row.”

Francesco Scanu Lussu

“In A. M. Trinchieri’s works, images drift through infinite space and vivid colors, surely without limits: they spark everyone’s curiosity…for a style that’s certainly original…”

Ercole Bolognesi

“Color? It’s life. It’s love. It’s meeting. It strikes the eye and aims for the heart. You draw us in, Anna Maria, and carry us into your dreamlike world…reluctantly we return to tread the earth!”

“The bold brushstroke is steeped in a range of suggestions, tensions, passions that in Anna Maria are stirred by the enchantment and the surprising variety of nature. This strength sometimes softens, and the artist, with a lighter touch and delicate, varied shades, brings out the fine sensitivity and emotional depth innate to her inner world.”

Elvira Menichini Trinchieri

“A. M. Trinchieri’s work: lacerations, bursts of light and color, aquatic forms, fixed points and ‘deplaning’ that includes a possible animal or human embryo. Pre-birth world.”

Mario Martini

“A. M. Trinchieri’s works are very expressive, from a chromatic and emotional point of view…”

Aldo Abbate

“…A. M. Trinchieri, an artist with a passionate, instinctive temperament, who in her works gives life to a pictorial language in constant evolution and without borders, where the impulses rising from within remain steady, and a vitality is born—power of flashing lights—that can give colors a primal force that moves from reality to chaos and from chaos returns to perceptible forms…”

Gioacchino Ruocco

“Critics’ Award to A. M. Trinchieri for his personality, fully expressed and summed up by the watercolor technique through which he manages to sublimate image and form, creating a painting able to stir an uncertain matter into deep emotional dimensions”

Anna Iozzino - Giudy Sorrenti

Gioacchino Ruocco - Claudio Morleni

“Anna Maria Trinchieri: an art without borders. The works of the 1990s arrive at an international abstractionism with points of reference in Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. They aim straight at the viewer’s heart and, with mastery, guide emotions and feelings, with an evident preciousness of expressive results, since the emotional gaze, layered with memory, is urged to awaken from existential torpor. Little by little the artist’s visual field expands and the images that arise open onto new, wholly inner territories of investigation, in an exploratory tension with estranging symbols, unknown paths, meta-historical eras of a time beyond time. Like Kandinsky in his writing “Concerning the Spiritual in Art”, A. M. Trinchieri too, through her works, seems to affirm that the principle of inner necessity is the foundation that guides the artist’s hand and eye on the journey that tunes the rhythms and transitions of the forms of things and of colors. In the works of the 2000s the painter shows herself ever more convinced that chromatic tones, like musical ones, give subtle emotions that are inexpressible in words, emotions that spring from an intimate and profound activity of the soul, fully and freely stirred by the different qualities of colors. Action and matter meet on canvas or on a sheet of paper under the push of creativity, and meaningful works are born where the flows of color seem to search for their own existential dimension…

It’s the first time that “cangiantism”, the strong chiaroscuro of the 1500s and 1600s, is applied to abstract forms…”

Certificate of Merit at the Ripetta Award 12th Edition 2001

From “Il secolo d’Italia” of 14-01-01 – Art Appointments by Renato Civello:

“…With works of painting, sculpture and graphic art, the 12th Edition of the Ripetta Prize was set up at the Spazio Visivo in Via Brunetti…The exhibition is of excellent standard. I cite, unable to mention all the exhibitors,…the full light and the dreamlike counterpoint of Anna Maria Trinchieri, mistress of watercolor…”

“Visiting the exhibition in spring 2005 at Cascina Farsetti, I happily rediscovered the artistic value of a painter friend, a colleague from Middle School as well as the mother of an excellent former student, Anna Maria Trinchieri, whom I already admired but who thrilled me once again with a work that evokes one of the most dramatic and unsettling moments of our time: the Tsunami tragedy. Immediately readable, though rendered in an abstract, informal key, it is so tragically true that one is drawn fully into the composition and feels the devastating force of nature that at times overwhelms us. Yet the work as a whole leaves a sense of positivity: the chromatic pairing enhances the vital energy that springs from it and almost by magic manages to overcome the event’s drama, opening the heart to hope.”

Maria Grazia Addari

I found Anna Maria Trinchieri’s painting “The Garden of the Soul” one of the finest in the exhibition of the same name at the Guglielmo Marconi Library in Rome, 10–17 May 2011. I liked the free, confident brushwork, the overall harmonious chromatic effect in the skilful use of the various colour tones. The painting creates the soft atmosphere of an enchanted place that invites relaxation and calm meditation.

The painting “Blood in Syria”, which Anna Maria Trinchieri presented at the exhibition "Beyond the Sign" held at the Mitreo of Corviale, from 31 March to 4 April 2012, draws inspiration from the tragic current events unfolding in Syria. The artist’s pictorial interpretation takes us straight, and dramatically, into the heart of those tragic events. As in her style, a skilful use of colour—here taking on dramatic tones to interpret harsh reality—invites the viewer to reflect on human behaviour and on the degeneration of Power.

from Painter to Painter...

dedicated to Anna Maria Trinchieri

I don’t know if I’ll be able to fully express the emotions I feel when I look at your “en plein air” paintings... but I’ll try, to pay you tribute and to offer sincere praise for your recent “Painting Itinerary”, which turns its gaze to nature—something I undoubtedly prefer—where a few bold, full-colour brushstrokes, and the skilful pairing of colours, create perspectives and light effects that seem to tell you a story.....A sincere and immediate pictorial expression, with no intrusion whatsoever... and it feels as if one can see the artist strolling through this her Nature with the “Palette” of all her emotions and her most intimate inner world.....Congratulations to you, Anna Maria, lively and sincere woman... an artist rich in imagination and her own intense creativity...

Emi De Meis

If I were to compare Anna Maria Trinchieri’s painting to a musical movement, I would call it “allegro con fuoco”. The painter reduces the elements of the visual language at our disposal to the essential, to simplicity, blending poetry and inventiveness, abstraction and realism: through the intensity of color she conveys to us the strength of her temperament. One senses a harmonious universe in substance, even if it appears fragmented in form. Her paintings seem free, fluid, vibrant, with an almost “fauve” intensity. The intense light spreads through broken shapes and bold contrasts. Anna Maria works in the open air, as in “Peach Tree in Blossom” at Tre Fontane, with excellent results. The outlines burst under the exaltation of color—turquoises and emeralds, oranges and vermilions—that move away from nature, yet take on a particular freedom and purity.

Elena Sana - Rome, 18 October 2014

“Art Arvalia Onlus, a cultural association in Rome’s Portuense district, is the creation of Anna Maria Trinchieri, who therefore devotes herself to art full time, as an organizer, as a critic, as an artist. Her work stands on the edge of reality, yet is never detached from it. Her landscapes, her sunsets reveal a strong emotional feeling that goes beyond mere reality: Trinchieri flies in a balloon and from her “Sputnik” watches the earth...”

from “Art Routes in Italy 2018” - Rubbettino

Maurizio Vitiello

In the work “Terrorism in the world...” - 2015 - A.M. Trinchieri sought to express, through color, the deep disorientation, anguish and inner unease in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
