WOOLLOO FARINELLI
(E-mail: woolloo@woolloo.it)

Born on September 12th, 1956, in Sydney (Australia), daughter of an Italian diplomat, she grows up travelling around the world. After finishing school, she continues for some decades the nomad life of her childhood, gathering professional experiences. In the late eighties, she obtains her diploma of conservator of paintings at the "Scuola di Restauro" of Rome. After years dedicated to the conservation of art - and working as a teacher at the same prestigious school - she turns solely to painting.

The extensive studies of light and colour, its vivid use, together with her finely honed eye for captivating compositions make woolloo's work unusual. Natural siena, cobalt, and ultramarine blues permeate the landscapes, taking you on a journey into a dream. Her skilled use of colour draws the viewers into her canvasses and captivates their attention. She uses her personal sense of space, dimension and atmosphere to express contrasting emotions: apparently cool, they convey a sense of passion. The result is impressive in a very subtle and elegant style.
