The paintings of Anna Maria Zoppis leave an extraordinary footprint in the art world. At ease integrating a representational style with pure abstraction, her work is notable for its remarkably soothing scenes of nature rendered with an illuminating precision. The unifying component in Zoppis’ works is playful, often rhythmic geometric shapes used as a graphic representation of elemental forces or as windows to alternate realities. Zoppis is an adept colorist as well, with her saturated canvases of azure, yellow, or crimson offset by a touch of muted complements. Her love of the natural landscape is rooted in her youthful days growing up just outside of Milan, all the while yearning for the peace and spiritual renewal made possible by unspoiled nature.
Zoppis’ career as a painter became within reach after exhibiting her work in the Brera district, the venerable art center of Milan. Upcoming exhibitions include other venues in Italy, Switzerland, and most recently, New York. Zoppis lives and works in Italy.
