Nicoletta Gatti

The artist Nicoletta Gatti was born in 1959 from the Tortonese painter Umberto from whom she inherits the passion for painting and art in general. 

In 1998 she attended the Academy of Applied Arts in Milan with Arch. Skoff then graduating with architectural training.

The need, always latent, to get your hands dirty with oil paint only manifested itself in 2008. She then attends a painting course at the Ar.vi.ma art school in Pavia, where alongside the painter Monica Anselmi she perfects the technical teachings already breathed in the past at her father's studio.

 

She begins to study the behavior of color through Itten's texts, to carefully observe its individual modes of expression, to grasp the correspondences between primary and secondary colors, between warm and cold tones, in order to be able to independently develop her own path.

 

Then, she enrolled in the Chromatology course held by the artist Marco Casentini at the Brera Academy in Milan where she presented her first works. The search for chromatic balance becomes the fundamental element and, making an inverse path, the design is dictated by the colors that create the true structure of the painting. The years from 2000 to 2015 are years of experimentation, her "modus operandi" is subject to continuous transformations through which she is structuring her pictorial language.
