About his Art

Anna Maria Trinchieri was born in Rome where she lives and works.

Graduated in Art Criticism at La Sapienza University of Rome, she taught Literary Subjects in the State Middle School.

For several years, he has been President of the Art Arvalia Onlus artistic-cultural association, which has been active since 2006 up to the present day for the promotion and dissemination of Culture, Art, and environmental and territorial values, not for profit, solely for solidarity and social utility. The Association has established its presence in Rome, in the territory of the XI Arvalia Portuense Municipality, and has distinguished itself as one of the first Cultural Volunteer Associations by organizing around a hundred Art Exhibitions and Events, Drawing and Painting Courses, Debates on Art topics, and Guided Tours in the city of Rome.

 Anna Maria Trinchieri, during her long and rich cultural-artistic experience, before organizing and participating in Events and Exhibitions of the Art Arvalia Onlus Association, exhibited in numerous exhibitions, in prestigious galleries in Rome and elsewhere, took part in important events, in competitions in Italy and abroad, obtaining significant awards, Critics' Prizes, medals, cups, Certificates of Merit, and Recognitions. Some of her works are present in institutional venues and private collections.

She began painting driven to escape the overused boundaries of reality, delving into her own inner life. Genuine emotions transposed onto paper, a desire to overcome her own limits, a rediscovered sense of harmony and balance, soft and graduated lines, symbols of spiritual ascent and the search for the unknown, whirlwinds of color and light in hidden or revealed forms, eyes that want to scrutinize, discover, exalt, communicate secrets, memories, dreams: her paintings.

At the heart of this and other pictorial experiences, which seem to start more from the representation of reality and in which various techniques are used, from watercolor to acrylic, tempera, oil, on different supports, the Artist's love for nature and for living creatures remains essential and must, in any case, be expressed through patches of color: for this reason, in all her works, even in the most "figurative" ones, there is a common thread, the urgency to communicate feeling, which gives them a peculiarity and a uniqueness of style.

Paintings are born from an inner need, they arise from the depths of the soul and are understood through an immediacy of feeling. Feeling is something that belongs to the uniqueness of the individual, to their resources and to the particular moment in which they express them. What is inside us is more creative than any other outward manifestation.

Among the countless artistic expressions that have offered various interpretations of reality, the work that expresses the needs of the unconscious Self is more difficult to understand, but it is alive for those who manage to create connections with the archetypes of the Collective Unconscious.  

The Critique 

 CRITICAL REVIEWS OF   ANNA MARIA TRINCHIERI

2000-2018

“…Anna Maria Trinchieri’s unbridled imagination, creative impetuosity, and vitality of tones give life to surprising scalloped forms, as if enclosed in a colorful lace behind which exuberance is now rendered more modest. The previous swollen and voluptuous figures now seem to stretch out and open up, leading the observer’s gaze into the third dimension of space, inviting them to peer at that distant horizon in the turquoise wave swept by the wind, high up, against a candy-pink sky; to rest upon a distant clearing amid bluish mountains; or to set out toward a luminous landscape that brightens among the brown branches of an ancient, gnarled tree clinging to the sea cliff; or again to touch the petals of a gigantic sky-blue iris seen through the transparency of a crystal beaded with dew; elsewhere to chase the yellow light of a comet plunging into a dark volcano; or to dive into the deep velvet of a majestic red rose. And yet nothing is real; the wave, the tree, the flower, the comet can become anything else; they are, in fact, “evanescences” that attract the attention and curiosity of the observer who, questioning the mystery of meanings, is led to undertake a journey of conquest and discovery of their own inner world, until they come to identify with the imaginative sensitivity of the artist…”

Valeria Pallante  2001

“…Trinchieri emits the sound of origins, in a vigorous concert of openings and encounters: her style navigates in that fluid of which mystics speak; hers is a painting of love, which contemplates the heights and allows others to enjoy their reflection: the mystery reveals itself in luminous energies and the vertical becomes accessible depth. There is a supreme point toward which minds tend: this type of painting recalls it; through the conception of essence, which becomes an approximate element, like the choreographies of flame, the painter undertakes the most poignant of races. She conceives what her ingenuity allows her, plus the theories of intuition. In the works, the spiritual yearning is evident, the harmony of soul and body, the feeling accessible in contemplation and in the study of abysmal movements: the firmament is the superior abyss of certainties. Trinchieri tells of it, with exemplary simplicity, and invites immersion in the immense, for an encounter with oneself, face to face with the energies that characterize thought: to extend beyond the dividing wall, to burn distances, to harmonize with the whole, connecting to the root to hear the universal heartbeat and to love it…”

Maria Teresa Palitta 2001      

“Rebirth” - “What is interesting about Anna Maria Trinchieri’s work is that the image ‘happens’, that is, it is not foreseen by the project and that it is placed in that interactive space between the nuclear activity of the psyche and the need for definition, the need for meaning. In this space, I believe, every innovative and evolutionary possibility of the image is always determined.”

 Ennio Calabria 2002

 “Terrorism in the world...2015” –

 Palazzo Ferrajoli - Rome 2017

 “Good, the freedom of troubled bowels...”

Ennio Calabria 2017

Mara Ferloni

“…Beautiful chromatic proposal by Trinchieri, where the essentiality of abstraction gives the observer particular emotions…”

Nicolina Bianchi        

 The work of A. M. Trinchieri: everything is a gust of wind. “Rebirth” can look like a flower, a spaceship, a window onto infinity…”

Saverio Ungheri

“In recent years, A.M. Trinchieri has evolved his artistic experience. The technical process of pouring color recalls the 'action painting' of Jackson Paul Pollock, so that, disregarding the subject, the color poured onto the canvas composes and overlaps itself almost 'by chance,' creating images. While in Pollock the color is poured dry, in his painting it spreads in water with surprising softness and overlays. The mysterious forms thus generated can evoke memories, dreams, imaginations, emotions from which the artist draws inspiration to bring out his own soul. Even the great Leonardo, looking at the shapeless masses of clouds, managed to see imaginative images... The forms thus created by the Artist's hand directly on the canvas with color, recall the shapeless masses of the cosmos at the dawn of life, waiting to be revealed, made concrete; his intervention is to bring them out. Thus, to the viewer, some 'things' appear and disappear in liquid essences that recall some surrealist works by S. Dalì. In the collection of works, the pure and luminous color of swirling masses creates a new music, now dramatic with strong contrasts, now very delicate with barely perceptible nuances. I would say that his painting has the effect of visual music and, as such, surprises the eye and strikes the soul, making us see what could be or could have been, beyond the visible.”

Paola Salvini

"The painter A. M. Trinchieri has a historical responsibility in doing what she does. The walls of houses will be emptied of old paintings of landscapes, flowers, still lifes, etc., which will be replaced by hers, in a world governed by women. Hers is an art that cannot be placed in time, but which, being born today, will take us into the third millennium. And she will be there, in the front row."

Francesco Scanu Lussu

“In the works of A. M. Trinchieri, the images float through infinite space and the vibrant colors are certainly without limits: they capture everyone's curiosity...for the undoubtedly original style...”

Ercole Bolognesi

"Color? It's life. It's love. It's encounter. It strikes the eye and aims for the heart. You involve us, Anna Maria, and transport us into your dreamlike world... reluctantly, we return to walk on the earth!"

“The strong brushstroke is imbued with the range of suggestions, tensions, and passions that in Anna Maria are aroused by the enchantment and the surprising variety of nature. This strength sometimes subsides, and the artist, with a lighter touch and soft, varied shades, highlights the fine sensitivity and emotionality congenial to her inner self.”

Elvira Menichini Trinchieri

“The work of A. M. Trinchieri: lacerations, explosion of light and colors, aquatic forms, fixed points and “deplanation” that includes a possible animal or human embryo. Prenatal world.”

Mario Martini                        

“The works of A. M. Trinchieri are very expressive, both chromatically and emotionally…”

Aldo Abbate

“…A. M. Trinchieri, an artist with a passionate and instinctive temperament, who in his works gives life to a pictorial language in continuous evolution and without boundaries, where the impulses that emerge from deep within and a vitality that arises as a power of flashing lights remain constant, able to give colors a primordial strength that goes from reality to chaos and from chaos returns to sensitive forms…”

Gioacchino Ruocco

 “Critics' Prize to A. M. Trinchieri for his personality, widely expressed and summarized through the watercolor technique, with which he manages to sublimate image and form, creating a painting capable of stirring uncertain matter into profound emotional dimensions”

Anna Iozzino     -   Giudy Sorrenti    

Gioacchino Ruocco - Claudio Morleni  

“Anna Maria Trinchieri: an art without borders. The works of the 1990s reach an international abstractionism that finds its points of reference in Paul Klee and Vasilij Kandinsky. They aim straight at the heart of the observer and skillfully guide their emotions and feelings with an evident preciousness of expressive results, as the emotional gaze and sedimented memory are encouraged to awaken from existential torpor. Gradually, the artist’s visual field expands and the resulting images open up to new territories of entirely interior investigation, in an exploratory tension with alienating symbols, unknown paths, and meta-historical eras of a timeless time. Like Kandinsky in his writing “Concerning the Spiritual in Art,” A. M. Trinchieri, through her works, also seems to affirm that the principle of inner necessity is the foundation that guides the hand and eye of the artist in the journey that harmonizes the rhythms and transitions of the forms of things and of colors. In her works of the 2000s, the painter shows herself increasingly convinced that chromatic tones, like musical ones, give subtle and inexpressible emotions to words, emotions that arise from an intimate and profound activity of the soul fully and freely stimulated by the different qualities of colors. Action and matter meet on the canvas or on the sheet of paper under the impulse of creativity, and meaningful works are born where the flows of color seem to search for their own existential dimension…

 It is the first time that "cangiantismo", the strong chiaroscuro of the 16th and 17th centuries, is applied to abstract forms…”

Anna Iozzino 

Third Prize at the “Monte Mario Prize 2006”:

“The artist A. M. Trinchieri has painted a composition full of lightness, movement, and light, showing remarkable painting skills.”

Enrico Benaglia - Anna Maria Marchesini -     

Alida Sessa

First Purchase Prize – Contemporary Painting Competition 2000 – “Art in the Library” – Guidonia Municipal Library: Motivation: “For the ability to communicate, through the softness of the image and the mastery in the use of colors, the emotion of eternal becoming, from the title of Luciano De Crescenzo’s book ‘Panta Rei’”

Angelo Bottaro

Certificate of Merit at the Ripetta Prize XII Edition 2001

From “Il secolo d’Italia” of 14-01-01 – Appointments with Art by Renato Civello:

“Visiting the exhibition in spring 2005 at Cascina Farsetti, I joyfully rediscovered the artistic value of a painter friend, a colleague from middle school as well as the mother of an excellent former student, Anna Maria Trinchieri, whom I already appreciated but who once again thrilled me with a work that evokes one of the most dramatic and disturbing moments of our times, such as the tragedy of the Tsunami. Immediately readable even though represented in an abstract and informal way, so tragically real that one is completely immersed in the composition and experiences the devastating force of nature that sometimes overwhelms us. Nevertheless, the work as a whole leaves a feeling of positivity: the chromatic combination enhances the vital energy that emerges from it and manages almost magically to overcome the drama of the event, opening the heart to hope.”

Maria Grazia Addari

I found Anna Maria Trinchieri's painting - "The Garden of the Soul" - to be one of the most beautiful of the exhibition of the same name at the Guglielmo Marconi Library in Rome, May 10-17, 2011. I liked the loose and confident brushwork, the overall harmonious chromatic effect in the skillful use of various color tones. The painting creates the soft atmosphere of an enchanted place that invites relaxation and serene meditation.

The painting “Blood in Syria,” which Anna Maria Trinchieri presented at the exhibition "Beyond the Sign" held at the Mitreo of Corviale from March 31 to April 4, 2012, takes its cue from the tragic current events unfolding in Syria. The artist’s pictorial interpretation brings us directly and dramatically into the heart of those tragic events. As is her style, a skillful use of color—which here takes on dramatic hues to interpret the harsh reality—invites the viewer to reflect on human behavior and the degeneration of Power.

 Aldo Ferrotti

 from Painter to Painter...    

dedicated to Anna Maria Trinchieri

I don't know if I will be able to fully express the emotions I feel when looking at your "en plein air" paintings... but I will try, to pay you homage and to express my sincere praise for your recent "Pictorial Itinerary" that turns its gaze to nature, which is undoubtedly what I prefer, where a few bold brushstrokes and full color, where the skillful combination of colors creates perspectives and light effects that seem to tell you a story.....A sincere and immediate pictorial expression without any interference... and it seems as if you can see the artist walking in this Nature of hers with the "Palette" of all her emotions and her most intimate inner world.....Congratulations to you, Anna Maria, lively and sincere woman... artist rich in her own and intense imagination and creativity...

 Emi De Meis            

If I wanted to compare Anna Maria Trinchieri's painting to a musical movement, I would define it as “allegro con fuoco.” The painter reduces the elements of the visual language at her disposal to the essential, to simplicity, combining poetry and inventiveness, abstraction and realism: through the intensity of color, she communicates the strength of her temperament. One perceives a harmonious universe in substance, even though it appears fragmented in form. Her paintings appear free, fluid, vibrant, and with an almost “fauve” intensity. The intense light expands in the broken forms and vigorous contrasts. Anna Maria practices outdoors as in “Peach Tree in Bloom” at Tre Fontane with excellent results. The outlines explode under the exaltation of color, turquoises and emeralds, oranges and reds that move away from nature, but assume a particular freedom and purity.    

Elena Sana  - Rome, 18 October 2014

 “Art Arvalia Onlus, a cultural association in the Portuense area of Rome, is the creation of Anna Maria Trinchieri, who therefore dedicates herself to art full time, as an organizer, as a critic, as an artist. Her work is situated at the edge of reality, while never being detached from it. Her landscapes, her sunsets reveal a strong emotional feeling that transcends pure reality: Trinchieri flies on a balloon and from her 'Sputnik' observes the earth...”

from “Art Paths in Italy 2018” - Rubbettino

Maurizio Vitiello

In the work “Terrorism in the world...” - 2015 - A.M. Trinchieri wanted to express, through color, the profound disorientation, anguish, and inner discomfort in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
