About Giulia Zuanni
Giulia Zuanni is an italian artist based out of Verona, Italy. Active in the world of art for over 13 years she has shown her work at various gallery exhibitions in Verona, Milan Italy, London, Uk, and New York City. It was at an early age Giulia's parents and teachers realized she was in her own artistic zone, her artistic expression could not be pinpointed or predicted. Always creating beyond the classroom, Giulia decided to pursue studies in Digital Marketing and Advertising in Italy. She also attended school for acting which she feels opened her personality, it gave her a reality check in rejection, even if it seemed she was over qualified for some positions.
The process of her art comes together by cutting a customized piece of canvas painting basic sketch line patterns and shapes playing with the volume, scale and overall color of the lines. She uses hand picked thin canvases on custom thick stretchers and selects her favorite brushes and oil paints calculating the customized canvases asymmetrical shape by hand.
Use of colors, Giulia prefers the blues, her favorite music. To compose a color pallette she chooses one base color, deciding the linear aspects of horizontal and vertical. This is what inspires the actual outside frame type, the fitting of the asymmetrically uneven canvas into an articulated larger frame. She plays with other color hues until it all makes visual sense, like meditation, opening the senses outside reality as she is able to feel free from the constraints of normality. The composites are joined together to become one piece in unison.
Giulia Zuanni è un'artista italiana con sede a Verona, Italia. Attiva nel mondo dell'arte da oltre dodici anni, ha esposto in diverse gallerie tra Milano Italia, London Uk, e New York City. Sin dalla tenera età genitori ed insegnanti si resero conto che si chiudeva in una sua dimensione artistica la cui espressione non poteva essere in alcun modo prevista. Creando sempre al di là della classe, Giulia ha deciso di proseguire gli studi in Digital Marketing in Italia. La scuola di recitazione a New York ha poi aperto la sua personalità, dandole pero' un feedback di rifiuto anche se sembrava fosse piu' che qualificata per alcune posizioni.
Il fare delle sue opere comincia ritagliando un pezzo di tela su cui l'artista costruisce un motivo lineare di base giocando con il volume su cui poi compone una propria scala cromatica. Utilizza tele molto sottili, seleziona pennelli e colori ad olio per le tele delle quali calcola solo alla fine l'asimmetrica forma e che monta su telai di spessore che costruisce su misura.
Per quanto riguarda l'utilizzo dei colori Giulia predilige gli azzurri, come nella musica il Blues. Per comporre una tavolozza di colore sceglie prima un colore di base e decide gli aspetti lineari di orizzontale e verticale quasi formando dei codici a barre. L'artista gioca con le tonalità di colore fino a quando ottiene un senso visivo, come nella meditazione, aprendo i sensi al di fuori dalla realtà, sentendosi cosi' libera dai vincoli della normalità. Da qui si ispira al tipo di cornice esterna e al gioco di volumi tra la cornice regolare e la tela irregolare. Quest'opera composita viene unita insieme per diventare un pezzo all'unisono.

They rotate 360 degrees and look like they are floating from the wall, suspended in gravity, they captivate the senses and propel the viewer into a psychedelic meditation state. This is created by the angles of the artwork and mounting esthetics, accenting all it’s colorful shapes and lines.
