Ursula Matella

After several years of painting frescoes, Ursula Matella chose to return to the easel to explore a more intimate and free expression. Between abstraction and figuration, her painting is born from gesture and direct contact with the material. The layers of color, the traces of the knife and the textures become the language of a raw emotion.
In his paintings, light mixes with silence, shapes appear then fade, like fragile memories or inner presences.
His work is rooted in feeling more than in reason - a constant dialogue between mastery and abandonment, between construction and erasure.
Through this instinctive process, Ursula seeks to reveal the essence of emotion, to translate inner states, the traces of a memory, the fragile presence of a being or a moment.
