What’s on the easel… in real time!

Posted on Friday, August 28th, 2009

Since Italy I find myself in a creative frenzy, sorting through a sea of images and inspiration, both mental and photographic. I thought it might be fun to post about what is on my easel… and do it in real time. So, this fresco is unfinished and untitled but sitting & waiting…much like Penelope in Homer’s Odyssey…ah, ok perhaps it is titled! I will call her “Penelope!”

Penelope, wife of Odyseuss (Ulysses in Roman mythology), is known for her patience and faithfulness in keeping her many suitors at bay as she waited for her husbands return from a long absence. Now she will show the same virtues as she awaits completion. The brown paper area to the right indicates where I will lay the 2nd section of plaster. If all goes as planned she will be sitting by a window with a beautiful view of lets see, hmmm…Italy?!?

Penelope is fantastic! You have great talent.

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.
