About the Collage

The goal is to fall in love with each painting I create and this large mixed media piece might be my soulmate. We've had quite a journey together and at times it was contentious but in the end the hours of layering and removing and layering again paid off. It grabs your attention from a distance then close up you find some beautiful moments in the texture and the peeling layers. Acrylic and painted papers on canvas. Wired and ready to hang.From Artist's Statment at Saatchi Art

About the Artist

Deanna Fainelli Artist
The city is my muse. I love peeling away layers to reveal its raw beauty and discover fleeting moments that make up the urban experience. Through mixed media painting I am able to elevate those moments and connect us with things that make city life so intriguing. Texture, composition, color, and images are used to make emotional connections that remind us to be more aware of our surroundings, to look up and enjoying everyday experiences. Since I use a passion for exploring city streets and abandoned buildings for inspiration, I often emulate elements of decay like rust and peeling paint. Balanced by pops of sublime color, these contrasting details work together to find common ground, tell our unique stories, and add qualities that feel unfiltered and authentic.
