VLA

Nina Pettinato, 2022 · acrylic on canvas · 100 × 80 cm

Work at a Glance
A medium-format acrylic painting on canvas, created in 2022 in a vertical format, characterized by rapid, gestural brushwork and visible color gradients.

How to Read the Painting?
Against a luminous salmon-pink background, a storm of deep ultramarine blue unleashes itself – broad, forceful brushstrokes whip diagonally and horizontally across the entire canvas, as if the artist's hand could barely keep pace with the impulse seeking expression. Where the lines cluster and intertwine, paint drips downward like a final, uncontrollable impulse. Yet, this two-tone composition is anything but simple: it vibrates, surges, and breathes – raw yet precise, loud yet permeated by a strange inner order.

Who is this Painting for?
'VLA' is pure energy on canvas – a work that instantly charges any space with presence and vitality, leaving no one indifferent.
