What’s on my easel in real time

Posted on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

This year’s Celebration of Fine Art has been an exceptional show so far, the cool temperatures are behind us and artists are working in full swing daily, a perfect opportunity for new installments of my most popular posts giving you a private viewing of what’s on my easel in real time.

These little 5×5 minature frescoes are still untitled but are part of ”Series Sicilia” A series of frescoes that feature my father’s hometown of Ragusa, a place I was able to re visit this summer. Enjoy and remember, if you are in Scottsdale before the end of March you can see me in the Northwest Salon at the Celebration of Fine Art under the big white tents on Scottsdale Rd.

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.
