Annemarie Ambrosoli - www.itv-holz-art.at/en/annemarie-ambrosoli Born in the Aurina Valley, Italy, Annemarie Ambrosoli was lucky to be tutored, from early age, by her uncle Ercole Frigoli, a landscape artist, who taught her oil painting and instilled in her a love for nature. Annemarie exhibits internationally and her works belong to private collections in Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. She takes part to important exhibitions like as: Spoleto Arte 2014 by Prof. Vittorio Sgarbi, italian historian, art biennial of Palermo by Prof. Vittori Sgarbi, 2015 exhibition in Milan Feeding the planet, Energy for life, cultural social vision of Italian artists-fabbrica Pensante Milano Expo Art Milan 2015, important exhititions with ItaliArts in Stuttgart, Vienna, Monaco, next Scandinavia. Group and individual exhibitions in Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, Austria ec Art fair participation in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Canada, France, Hong Kong. Main influences for her artistic career were the masters of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. Her aim is to paint landscapes en plein air, using nature as a model for depicting color schemes on canvas. In her work, emotions are essential, followed by motifs that also have a significant role. She attended courses at the Academy International of Bruneck in the year 1992 1996 under the guidance of Prof. Klaus Pack and Prof. Reinhard Adlmannseder. This results in artworks that revolve around trees as a highly important theme. Particularly inspiring for Ms. Ambrosoli is the cold season where trees show their branches, gestures and movements. These branches evoke emotions in the artist s soul, such as gestures expressing sensuality, love, desire and contact. Another theme of great importance to the artist is ensembles. Ensembles are not mere combinations of single objects, but are created through an interaction of several objects reflecting the history of humans and nature and contributing, due to their individual characteristics, to local or regional identity. Landscapes, but also villages, are subject to continuous and often swift change, which carries the risk of homogenization and therefore a loss of diversity (http://www.provinz.bz.it/naturraum/themen/ensembleschutz.asp). In these artworks, she aims at expressing her emotions related to a certain motif by joyful color schemes, rather than just depicting objects in a realistic way. Annemarie Ambrosoli was awarded several prizes and mentions; she is listed in various art catalogues and publications. 1 / 15

Free of poetic and figurative conditioning, the works are dynamically structured, marks become tools and colors attune toward transcendence and conclude in concrete harmony in a message that does not repeat usual forms but brings about innovation of perception. The secure feature is dominant, allowing itself the preciosity of discovery and the communication of hope but also anxiety traced on deep interiority. Annemarie Ambrosoli s nature gives up the perfect shape for a more symbolic language; there is a line that encloses color in a diffuse tenderness, which makes the blues and reds that climb the twisted trees, the dark greens and yellows that gradate the vegetation of the hills of personal interpretation. Giorgio Falosso (Year 2013) 3 / 15
Annemarie Ambrosoli is inspired by nature, which she however never transfers on the canvas with truism. It is a fantasy or better, a poetic revisitation of nature that entwines her personality and conception of life. Thanks to the use of joyous colors and the agile interlacing of strokes forming images, we can sense that Ambrosoli belongs to a legion of positive people with an optimistic character I would call Franciscan. In fact, her painting is en plain air, marvelously fresh and strongly recalls impressionism Leo Strozzieri (Year 2012) Starting from real landscapes, that is, really existing. Ambrosoli transfigures in a fantastic and dreamlike key such natural reality, nearly tracking down the unconscious spirit in nature., as Schelling and generally the Romantic artists wanted. Realizing a synthesis between form and colour, where both the elements involve one another, with a choice of colours always tending to light, in a key that reminds of Goethe Theory of colours (Farbenlehre) and then to the following theorizations of Schopenhauer and Steiner, with the obvious and also remarkable differences between these theories, where all the chromatic spectrum is experienced, with a prevalence of apparently soft and delicate shades, in fact really vivid Eugen Galasso (2011) Link:http://www.itv-holz-art.at/en/annemarie-ambrosoli/biography/ Artworks (Selection) Cycle Sets-Ensembles 4 / 15
