Monaco acclaim “The Art of Instinct” by Dana Rizza

Dana Rizza has learnt to express her art by mastering the use of colours, an element that is more powerful than the form and drawing she composes to interpret the reality that surrounds her. Objective reality, nature and everyday life are transformed into the subjective impression that the artist captures from everything. Form and colour are the ingredients, the same ones that make up reality as much as her works, only Dana mixes and repurposes them.

The form becomes the container for the colour that represents the exaltation of the state of mind of that moment, of that emotion. Quick, instinctive strokes nail the experience and impression of the moment to the canvas, as if it were a piano composition. Just as Kandinskij found in the harmony of colours his unique and effective principle, the contact with the soul, our artist composes her works.

The colours are comparable to the keys of the piano, the eyes act like hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. Dana is that hand which, by pressing on the keys, harmonises vibrations that resonate with the human soul of the viewer. Colours have a soul composed of frequencies similar to those of the notes that give life to music. With a brush and a good hand, these harmonies can be brought out. The colours mix, whispering with each other like the alchemical elements in an alchemist’s crucible.

The works of art are true magic, an indissoluble link with mystery, a sensory gateway, an intermediary between spirit and emotions. Look at Dana Rizza’s works, listen to them as if they were music. Surround yourself with the harmony of the resonances, the hyper-perceptible vibrations that confident brushstrokes guided by experience compose like sculpture. Form, colour and primitive silhouettes are art understood as contemporary, ancient, classical and future.

The continuous experiments between form and colour are her constant dialogue with nature, the landscape and the environment, which since 1999 has found fertile ground in Ticino. The artist was born and trained in Zurich and then opened her first studio in Kilchberg. Under the sensitive guidance of master Giancarlo Testa, she graduated from the school of art therapy in Zurich. Art, with its vibrations, is an effective and sensitive instrument for healing the soul. It is an essential activity for the well-being of a person, and it was defined by Dante as God’s grandchild in the 11th canto of Inferno. It is born of man and is a man’s service. Blessed by God even though it is not their direct daughter.

It is something that is ours, something extremely human, and the essence of Dana’s work is all Dana. The product of the combination of shapes and colours that re-propose a world, her intimate world, which is returned to us as a recognisable dimension because it is similar. There is no estrangement for those who lose themselves in her abstract works. Everything is recomposed in our unconscious as observers, without explanation or lucubration. The audience’s soul vibrates with the same wavelength for which the works were conceived.
