Selene M. Santucci

Fabrications

is an intuitive painter who relies on a process that is visually di-

rected and which leads to a finished piece. “I have no idea of the

painting I am about to start, and until the last moment of com-

mitment, have no certainty that it will remain in the form that is

in front of me. Through a very long series of moves, i.e. changes,

cancellations and additions, an idea unfolds. It is an exhausting

process, but it keeps a forward moving momentum to my work.”

Her goal is to create a strong formal composition which is emo-

tionally available, and where the image comes through the paint.

There is a certain level of ambiguity in the work, allowing the

viewer to interpret the content or meaning.
