DE BERARDINIS, Olivia

.

A modern-day Vargas (though I find myself her works broadly to have more... thickness and substance), Olivia De Berardinis' take on the feminine form has become fans familiar since the early 80s. While her technique has recognizably regularly progressed since her commercial carrier start, to come to a peak these last years with such timeless pieces like 'Heaven can Wait'. A pure perfection to me (the velvety colors, the balance of the pose and proportions, sheer class of facial and looking, the play with transparencies and non-intrusive sweet depth brought by the cloths, everything) : here is a recent example that totally blows away my admiration.

Olivia's paintings often mix a subtle balance of tangy sensuality with a twist of sophistication that make the piece so attention catching. Don't let it stop you if the theoretically picked-up model isn't a fave of yours : in fact Olivia doesn't regularly pick up some favorites models of mine -!- yet stays that the final painting very often sublimates its model, taking a critical distance from it possibly and, in some ways, the vision projected on canva outmodels and withdraws the initial starting point...
