Narrativa Abstracta - Rosanna Casano

In Narrativa Abstracta, Rosanna Casano (Marsala, Italy, 1968) invites us into a pictorial universe where impermanence lies at the heart of artistic exploration. Through a series of paintings created using a technique developed in the 1990s, she examines the interplay between matter, time, and memory.

Casano’s creative process is guided by intuition, where chance and gesture intertwine to form compositions that defy fixity, existing in a perpetual state of transformation. Her works are neither definitive nor immutable; rather, they appear to blur and reconfigure themselves, unfolding in an ever-evolving act of dissolution.

Her paintings capture fleeting moments in which abstraction oscillates between the recognizable and the ethereal, as matter dissolves into temporality. Each piece embodies the essence of impermanence, hinting at narratives on the threshold of visibility. In this dynamic interplay of appearances and disappearances, it is the viewer’s memory and perception that weave the narrative, uncovering meaning in ambiguity—where the unseen becomes perceptible and the defined dissolves into the intangible.
