About Maria Pia Taverna:

Maria Pia Taverna blends her innate stylistic sense with brilliantly conceived hues to captivate the viewer with a hypnotic visual dynamism. Expressing her emotions through a unique manipulation of color and line, Taverna creates works of art which transcend the realm of aesthetic beauty to an emotionally evocative exploration of the human psyche. Her hybrid method of digital imaging and classical printing techniques results in a highly emotive work, evidencing the influence of artists from throughout the annals of history. From the psychological explorations of the Surrealists to the drama of the Expressionists and the precision of the Classical painters, Taverna's works display the artist's own deep understanding of art and art history.

Having exhibited her artwork throughout Europe, Mari Pia Taverna has received critical acclaim for her unique artistic perspective and has trained in the ateliers of several significant artists and designers. A native of Italy, she currently lives and works in the city of Turin.
