Buracchi Martina – On the Rab Sea

She was born in 1977 in Sinalunga, Siena. In 2002, she graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and in 2003 she received a diploma from the Boccioni Artistic High School in Verona. She has exhibited throughout Italy and won awards: in 2000 and 2002 – first prize for the best young artists in Chiusdino (Siena), and in 2001 a special award at the 3rd Contemporary Art Review in Italy. Although she presents herself with landscapes at the colony, her artistic focus is on the human or animal figure (horses) immersed in an existential context. She often chooses jute as a base, which she treats with pure color pigments combined with various binders and non-paint materials.
