Florencia Sampietro

I paint to remember who I am.

In the silence of color I find a way of listening: Body, intuition and memory dialogue in each stroke. My work is born from a need to transform the invisible into presence, to give shape to everything that vibrates before having a name.

I'm interested in the crossing between the earthly and the spiritual, between the organic and the symbolic. In my works, the figures are often portals: bodies, rituals, guardians, mirrors of the soul. I don't seek to represent, but to reveal the energy that lives beneath appearance.

I work with acrylics, oils, mixed techniques, glazes and spontaneous gestures that leave the process visible. Each layer of paint is a breath, an attempt to capture something that is always in movement.

Painting, for me, is a way of being alive: A practice of presence, a form of prayer without words.

My work is sustained between the force of color and the fragility of gesture. In that balance I find my truth: a painting that doesn't seek to please, but to remember the power of the sensible.
