WORKS

At once cosmopolitan and contemplative, medieval and ultramodern, Emma Ferrer’s paintings are gaining recognition as some of the most exciting to emerge on the international art scene today. In her secluded studio near Florence, Ferrer taps deep into the long history of humanity’s relationship with nature – a tale of barbarism and beauty in equal measure. Her works possess the spiritualism of Hilma af Klint as well as Ursula Le Guin’s intense conviction as to the contemporary resonance of ancient myths, while her painterly influences range from the masters of the Italian quattrocento to those of fin-de-siècle Symbolism.
