Fresco Titled “Bella Vista”

Posted on Friday, August 8th, 2008

This true fresco painted in 4 sections was unveiled towards the end of the 2008 Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale. http://www.celebrateart.com/ . I call it “Bella Vista” because this home truly has a beautiful view of the Ionian Sea and hills of Calabria where it is situated in my mothers home town of Ferruzzano, a very special place to me!

Framed in a beautiful Italian moulding shown below with a distressed gold leaf fillet this peice measures 43 1/2″x 38″

Liana Sofia Tumino

Celebrating 19 years of continued exploration and specialization in fresco painting, an ancient art that requires painting into wet plaster with pure pigment.

Liana Sofia creates small to medium frescoes on panels of wood, tile, stone or cement board, while larger works are detachments from wall to cloth, the result of a restoration process called “The Strappo Technique.” or Fresco detachments.

Rich with the memory of the moment of capture, each fresco begins with a photograph taken within the villages of Liana Sofia's parents and grandparents. She aims to re-live the experience and beauty of each place as she paints it, to evoke a sense of presence to the viewer.

Fine art collectors across the country have become intrigued by Liana Sofia's work when they understand the historical significance of the medium as well as it’s challenges,complexity and unique beauty.
