Biography

CINZIA PELLIN

Artist Cinzia Pellin was born on July 19th, 1973, in Velletri, an ancient city of Volsci located in the province of Rome. From an early age, she possessed an innate sense of proportion, evident through her drawings using oil colours since the age of seven. After completing Artistic High School, she pursued her education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, specialising in set design under the guidance of Professor Venditelli. Graduating with the highest grades, she felt a strong calling towards painting, which led her to wholeheartedly dedicate herself to this art form, leaving behind her pursuit of set design. Nevertheless, her background in set design resonates in her artworks, where her paintings often evoke the ambiance of theatrical scenes, both in terms of size and visual impact.

Pellin's artistic journey revolves around the human face, particularly within the context of the female universe. The women depicted in her works embody contemporary traits, manifested through meticulously composed details that emanate a powerful and energetic yet romantic aura. She paints various manifestations of femininity, portraying uncommon faces that undergo a subtle transformation, shifting from a girl-next-door to a diva or an ordinary woman to a star. Through her impressive compositional skills, Pellin internalises these faces, originally encountered in magazines or photographs of friends, into captivating, unified compositions that enthral the viewer.

The colour red, beloved by the artist, pervades her canvases or accentuates specific features such as lips or nails. This intense and energetic hue embodies life, passion, and blood, forming an enigmatic balance between vitality and mortality.

Cinzia's artistic evolution has unfolded through three significant phases of exploration. Initially, she employed overlapping and veiling techniques, using shades of grey. Subsequently, she transitioned to lyrical whites, skilfully highlighting alternating details of lips and nails. Female faces became less defined, appearing ethereal and mirage-like, with vivid and alive eyes as the only sharply delineated elements. In her latest research, she reintroduced elements of her beloved design by incorporating oil pencil interventions on top of the oil colour. These new lines emerge within the hair or facial details, creating an intriguing and mesmerising effect.

Pellin's artistic scope extends beyond femininity, compelling viewers to reflect on childhood. Her portrayals depict children exuding happiness, enjoying their carefree age, or exhibiting sadness due to circumstances beyond their control.

Over the years, Cinzia Pellin has collaborated with Vecchiato Art Galleries in Padua, which has played a crucial role in nurturing and showcasing her innate talents. Currently, she maintains a partnership with Caloni Transports S.r.l., for whom she serves as a Testimonial. In 2016, she participated in the Bologna Motor Show alongside Caloni Transports and was awarded the "Best Artist 2016" distinction at the Spazio Cerere in Rome.

Internationally, her presence is evident in exhibitions abroad, including a solo exhibition at Van Loon Galleries in Vught, Netherlands, in 2014. In the UK, she is represented by Gallery Different and has exhibited alongside master Berlingeri at Moorehouse in London. 

In Italy, in 2017, she exhibited her works at Villa Reale in Monza in the retrospective exhibition "The Women Beauty," an event sponsored by Caloni Trasporti S.r.l. in collaboration with Onlus Cancer Primo Aid. In 2018, during the Venice Film Festival, she held a personal exhibition at Manni Art Gallery on Venice Lido, entitled "Homage to the cinema of Cinzia Pellin." In September 2020, she presented an important pictorial project titled "The Temptations" at Galata Museo del Mare in Genoa. Furthermore, in 2023, she showcased her latest personal exhibition, titled "Women's Life," at Crocetti Museum in Rome.

Cinzia Pellin's work was featured on the cover of the December/January 2017 issue and the May/June 2018 issue of Art World Magazine.

The following individuals have written about her art: Alberto Dambruoso, Stefano Zecchi, Luciano Caprile, Lorella Pagnucco Salvemini, Francesca Barbi Marinetti, Nicola Galvan, Alain Chivilò, and Salvatore Russo.
