WIDMER
TASSINARI

Born on a serene Friday evening in Forlì, Italy, Widmer Tassinari was destined to embrace the artistic life. A Taurus with a Scorpio ascendant, his sensibilities have always leaned towards beauty and the finer things in life, such as haute cuisine, which he enjoys crafting himself. From a tender age, Tassinari was proficient in drawing, a skill that grew alongside his deep appreciation for the natural world—the chorus of birds, the fragrance of blooming meadows, and the aesthetic of seasonal flora. It is from these sensory experiences that Tassinari draws his artistic inspiration, channeling his emotions into each stroke on the canvas.

Tassinari approaches his art without a predefined blueprint. With a palette at his side, he confronts the blank canvas, allowing his tools—be it brushes, fingers, or charcoal—to spontaneously bring his inner visions to life. His method is not just about applying paint; it is an intimate ritual, a dance of discovery where abstract figures and colors emerge, driven by the subconscious. For Tassinari, painting is more than a passion; it is a profound necessity, an existential meeting with himself through the medium of art.

The artist’s works often feature the female form when not purely abstract, reflecting his belief that true emotions of life originate from a place he calls the “planet Woman,” where femininity influences perception more than representation. This thematic choice underscores his view of women as central figures in the emotional landscape, making them frequent subjects of his work. Tassinari’s canvases are not just paintings; they are narratives of his moods and experiences, capturing the essence of his life’s moments through vibrant expressionism.

As I stand before my canvas, it is a moment of pure potential. I am driven by an innate need to explore the depths of my subconscious, to translate fleeting emotions into visible forms. My art is not born of methodical planning but from a spontaneous and intuitive process. Each brushstroke is an act of self-discovery, a way of navigating and understanding the complex terrain of my feelings and experiences. I engage with my materials—paints, brushes, and sometimes just my hands—to bring forth the essence of my emotional reality.

My works are mirrors of my soul, reflecting the nuances of my moods and the richness of my environment. They are deeply influenced by the rhythms of nature and the human experience, particularly the profound expressions of the female form, which I believe embodies the most intense emotions of life. This connection with femininity is not just thematic but is also a testament to the fluidity and dynamic range of emotions that I strive to capture in my art.

Ultimately, my goal is to communicate more than what is seen—to evoke feelings, provoke thoughts, and stir the viewer’s own emotional depths. I hope that my paintings invite onlookers to pause and reflect, to feel the emotion that lies beneath the surface and perhaps find a piece of themselves within the canvas. Art, for me, is a dialogue between the creator and the viewer, a shared journey into the realms of the emotional and the ethereal.
