Fantasy on Bark  (Fantasia su corteccia) is an original artwork realized by  Laura D'Andrea  in 2011. Oil painting on wood. Old decapè wood frame included. Perfect conditions.

Fantasy on Bark (Fantasia su corteccia) is a beautiful series realized by the artist in 2011, after a long research through different materials. At a first glance, the compositions seem abstract; in reality, they hide several symbols and figures. For example, some stylized landscapes seem to appear on the surface of the artwork. The compositions demonstrate the artist's strong interest in oriental and exotic cultures: the artist, indeed, travelled often in her youth, especially in North Africa. The technique is very interesting: oil painting on wooden bark. The artworks of this series have an old decapè wood frame.

Laura D’Andrea is an Italian artist and engraver. She was born in Sicily where she currently lives and works. She studied printing and xylography at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome and Urbino and Philosophy and Literature at the University of Grenoble. His first exhibition has been “La mia Sicilia” (My Sicily) in 1969 at Galleria Flaccovio in Palermo where, a few years later, she exhibited with “Hippies a Londra” (Hippies in London). In the 1980’s, she moved to Il Cairo in Egypt, where she studied Arabic calligraphy and she had the possibility to realize a series of graphic works that has been exhibited at the Egypt Academy of Rome. During that years, she started an artistic research through the historical Sicilian Baroque art and culture. Between 1986 and 1988, she exhibited with the solo show “L’Immaginario nel Barocco” (The Baroque Culture) at the Galleria Artivisive in Rome, at the Museum and Library of Ursino and Recupero in Sicily and at the European Parliament in Strasbourgh. In 2002 she exhibited with “Memoria Greca nel Mediterraneo” (Greek memory in the Mediterranean Sea) in Sicily. In 2007, she exhibited in Rome and in Saudi Arabia. Between 2011 and 2015, she started to explore the world of jazz music that will become an important subject of her future artworks; during that years she exhibited her works in England and in Belgium. Her artworks are a leap in the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicilian and Arab culture; Laura D’Andrea is a lover of the jazz music, through her canvases we can hear the sound of ancient and far places and people. Other important details of her work the calligraphy and the Archeoscrittura. Archeoscrittura is a trend that involves artists exploring into their genetic memory and finding signs of archaic scripture.
Laura D'Andrea finds her inspiration in the depths of her personal memory, and in the study and influence of the signs and symbols of the Archaic writing in the Mediterranean. Her works can be found in the Museum of Modern Art Pecci in Florence, in the Museum of woodcut Carpi in Modena, in the Museum of Modern Art Maga of Varese, in the Museum of Modern Art of Valencia in Spain, and in the Museum of Art Mart of Trento and Rovereto in the donation of Mirella Bentivoglio.

Fantasy on Bark (Fantasia su corteccia) è un'opera originale realizzata da Laura D'Andrea nel 2011. Olio su legno. Cornice in antico legno decapè inclusa. Condizioni perfette.

Fantasy on Wood (Fantasia su corteccia) è una bella serie realizzata dall’artista nel 2011, dopo una lunga ricerca attraverso i diversi materiali. A primo impatto, le composizioni risultano astratte e sembrano non presentare figurazione; al contrario, esse nascondono molteplici simbologie e rappresentazioni. Alcuni paesaggi stilizzati sembrano infatti apparire sulla superficie. Le composizioni mostrano un forte interesse per le culture orientali ed esotiche: l’artista, infatti, ha viaggiato a lungo durante la giovinezza, specialmente in Nord Africa. La tecnica è molto interessante: si tratta, infatti, di pittura su legno di corteccia. Le opere della serie presentano tutte una cornice in vecchio legno decapè.
