Bio (Eng)

Loly Grassi was born in 1982 in Rosario, Argentina, by named Paola Grassi. In the search for her own self, she became Loly, changing her name to her nickname. Art has always been part of her world. Surrounded by opera and ballet, she dreamed of being a dancer; instead, she decided to fly through the paintbrush. Loly studied Arts at the National University of Rosario, where she took a specialized course in artistic anatomy. At the same time, she took art classes to delve deeper into oil glazing with Paula Grazzini and graphite drawing with Julian Usandizaga. At first, she was interested in studying Italian Baroque, a notable mark in her work, even in current artworks in which chiaroscuro evokes the duality of existence. Under the search for light and experimenting with color saturation, a new stage emerged. Her magical hyperrealism, of polished and impeccable technique, chiaroscuro is always present, with saturated colors, where sensory abstractions coexist with extraordinarily painted figuration. Loly gives us an intimate and unforgettable aesthetic experience.

When we stand in front of Paola Grassi’s (Loly) work, it is impossible not to notice the artist’s deep connection with nature, which here expresses much more than a mere aesthetic-landscape concept. It is, instead, a total empathy, an unconditional, full and lively immersion that leads the artist into telling us about the intrinsic beauty of nature and of life. A life nature is linked to as a part of its own. Paola Grassi transports us to sensory scenarios where we meet again with the Psyche of the world. She takes us to a temporal field, where the moment becomes eternal and where we perceive, touch, the fullness of Being. The artist’s expressions are liberated under the sign of a style that, although perceived as figurative, is given to the free imagination of figurative memories. Paola Grassi’s (Loly) pictorial work is a set of spontaneous actions, suggested and driven by sincere states of mind that she with her simplicity offers to the observer through a harmony of form and color, showing us her irrefutable talent. She does not hesitate to rely on her emotional instinct to create, transmitting in her work a total sentimental charm and always giving us a suggestive romantic vision.

In my eyes Paola Grassi (Loly) is, above all, a dreamer and as such she nourishes herself with sensations and emotions that manage to reach us because she perceives them with her emotional pulse and returns them to the canvas with the kind intention that they now strike our heart. A pictorial and expressive exploration that offers us the possibility of evidencing the facets, the atmospheres, the sensations, the aspects and the true essence of the surrounding world, where nature and life are shown in their deepest brilliance through lights, shadows and coloristic effects. Her precise and spontaneous execution gives us moments of great artistic pathos. Without further ado, Paola Grassi can be defined as «the artist of grounds of the heart and nature», owner of a great feeling that does not let us forget that essential link with the origins of humanity and with the Being itself.

Quando ci si sofferma dinnanzi alle opere di Paola Grassi (Loly), non si può non avvertire il legame profondo di questa artista con la natura. Natura, questa, espressa non puramente ad un concetto estetico –paesaggistico, ma ad un’empatia totale, ad un’immersione incondizionata, piena e viva che la riporta a raccontarci della bellezza della natura e della vita. La vita cui si sente legata; sentendosi parte di se stessa, Paola Grassi, ci porta verso sensazioni che ricongiungono alla psychè del mondo, ad un piano temporale, dove l’attimo diventa eterno, dove percepiamo, emozionati, la pienezza dell’essere. Le espressioni dell’artista si liberano all’insegna di uno stile che seppur figurativo ci lascia alla libera immaginazione delle memorie figurative. L’operato pittorico Paola Grassi è l’insieme delle azioni spontanee, suggerite e spinte da stati d’animo sinceri che l’artista con la sua semplicità offre all’osservatore attraverso l’armonia del segno e del colore mostrandoci la validità del suo talento. L’artista si affida al suo intuito emozionale per le sue creatività, trasmettendo in esse tutto il fascino sentimentale, regalandoci sempre una suggestiva visione romantica.
A mio avviso Paola Grassi (Loly) è soprattutto una sognatrice e, come tale, si nutre di sensazioni ed emozioni che ci arrivano tali perché osservati con palpitazione emotiva e riportate sulla tela con il felice intuito di colpire i nostri cuori. Una ricerca pittorica ed espressiva, dunque, la sua, che gli offre la possibilità di evidenziare le sfaccettature, le atmosfere, le sensazioni, gli aspetti e la vera essenza del un mondo circostante, nel quale, la natura e la vita si mostrano nel loro fulgore più profondo; attraverso le luci e le ombre, l’effetto coloristico. Il tratto preciso e spontaneo regala momenti di grande pathos artistico. Si potrebbe infine definire Paola Grassi “artista dei luoghi del cuore e della natura” di un grande sentire che non ci fa dimenticare quel legame imprescindibile con l’origine dell’uomo e con il proprio essere più profondo.
