Soft light, subtle colors and sumptuous textures work together in the works of Aurora Mazzoldi to create a unique style described by art critic Maurice Taplinger as “contemporary romanticism.”  Mazzoldi’s acrylics on canvas are imbued with profound emotion and point to the artist’s own deep relationship to her paintings.  Having lived in France, Austria and Italy, Mazzoldi is deeply informed by the art historical traditions that are present in her everyday surroundings and looks to a wide range of influences from the Renaissance Masters of Italy to the Nineteenth Century Romantics.  Although her use of dramatic mood is drawn directly from the Romantic tradition, Mazzoldi’s color pallet and soft modeling of form is reminiscent of the Old Masters of the Renaissance.  A spiritual thinker who buries herself in each work of art, Mazzoldi is also deeply affected by the philosophical message of the Christian Esoteric teacher Daskalos.
