About this artwork
Magma was born from a profound experience of mine. It's not a work I planned rationally, but it emerged almost unconsciously upon my return from a short vacation on the island of Elba.
On a beach with light sand, I noticed a black stone with ochre, red, and gold spots, due to the presence… of iron, which that part of the island was rich in. Observing those beautiful stones, with their dark color and orange and gold accents, I imagined their history, their emergence from the center of the earth, millennia ago, thanks to the movements of the Earth's crust. Thus was born the Magma painting. And the idea of also giving its buyer one of the stones that inspired it.

Her compositional sensibility stems from years of studies in Gestalt perception, developed during her career as a graphic designer. In her series of abstract and geometric paintings, 'Circles of Joy,' the circle—a pure and essential form—becomes the center of compositions painted entirely freehand, in flat, uniform layers of color, always featuring the luminosity and contrast of a golden accent.
His research is part of a line that goes from the Bauhaus to Vasarely, from Albers to Rothko, and arises from visual memories linked to nature and from a constant attention to themes of harmony and coexistence between different cultures.
Rota's works are now present in over 30 private collections in more than 10 countries.
