The geometric forms, essential yet never rigid, unfold across planes and transparencies, suspended in a balance that appears fragile and yet is deeply intentional. On the canvas, traces of time can be seen: small fractures in the material, light abrasions, uneven veils of color. These are not imperfections, but presences-time is not erased, but embraced as part of the creative process. The gauze, aged or partially faded, interacts with these elements, making the work not just an image, but a visual memory. Isa Di Battista Gorini is a Milan-based painter who studied painting and decoration at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. After an early career in advertising graphics, she devoted herself entirely to painting, developing a personal artistic language focused on materiality, transparency, and abstract form. In the 1980s, she began to use gauze as a distinctive material in her work, creating layered compositions rich in lightness, transparency, and symbolic geometry. Her paintings explore the relationship between the visible and the invisible, between sign and silence, between structure and poetry. Through exhibitions such as "The Mystery of the Sign," "Secret Stones," and "My Robots," Gorini presented a vision of art as a process of transformation-a language shaped by both matter and spirituality. Her style blends lyrical abstraction with structural tension, encouraging a contemplative dialogue with the viewer. . See less
