ANNEMARIE AMBROSOLI
“My painting is born in real life, “en plain air”. The tree has always been a part of nature awaking my attention. The tree
with its curves and its shapes represents life and sentiment. In these movements, I see “gestures” and feelings. The tree
is deeply rooted, and strongly hangs on the ground. Hanging on, getting closer, holding up are all movements that can be
found in the wood and remind me of man’s movements that turn into sentiments. The tree has a soul, and you can
perceive it when entering the wood, it stretches its branches as arms. When the sunlight hits the bark, among the
branches colors are transformed and wonderful colors are created, green, purple, red, yellow….”Annemarie Ambrosoli
Annemarie Ambrosoli was born in Steinhaus in Ahrntal (Bozen/Italy). Main influences for her artistic career were the
masters of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism.
Of great significance was her time in Lombardy, South Tyrol and Austria. At an early age, Ms. Ambrosoli was fortunate
enough to be influenced artistically by a relative: The artist Ercole Frigoli, whose work mainly focuses on landscapes,
introduced her to the technique of oil painting as well as to the love of nature. Her aim is to paint landscapes “en plein
air”, using nature as a model for depicting color schemes on canvas. In her work, emotions are essential, followed by
motifs that also have a significant role.
This results in artworks that revolve around trees as a highly important theme. Particularly inspiring for Ms. Ambrosoli is
the cold season where trees show their branches, gestures and movements. These branches evoke emotions in the
artist’s soul, such as “gestures” expressing sensuality, love, desire and contact.

Another theme of great importance to the artist is “ensembles”. Ensembles are not mere combinations of single objects,
but are created through an interaction of several objects reflecting the history of humans and nature and contributing,
due to their individual characteristics, to local or regional identity. Landscapes, but also villages, are subject to
continuous and often swift change, which carries the risk of homogenization and therefore a loss of diversity. In these
artworks, she aims at expressing her emotions related to a certain motif by joyful color schemes, rather than just
depicting objects in a realistic way.

SELECTION OF ART CRITICISM:
“Annemarie Ambrosoli’s Tachisme is lively and merry, a chromatic weaving that recalls tapestries, in the density of the
material” Prof. Vittorio Sgarbi (Year 2014)
“Emotions told through the colors are evident in the work of Annemarie Ambrosoli, where trees, which she likes to
portray, are metaphorically interpret of gestures that belong to human being. As many arms they are moving, they are
touching and they are colored of vital emotions that narrate the soul of the artist and her desire to avoid loneliness, set
off by lines, which indicate a desire for upward movement, but also a sensitivity to all that is around us. The tree ... the
trees ... are nothing more than a Annemarie upward, but she is aware that it is the contact, relation of each one that
gives us the necessary energy to live” Prof. Gaetana Tay Foletto, cultrice d’arte (Year 2014)
“Gestures is a pictorial cycle that the artist Annemarie Ambrosoli dedicates to trees. The spectator finds himself
catapulted in that silent atmosphere, where he can listen to the sound of the wood. An enchanted wood the one
described by Ambrosoli. A wood where losing oneself and not finding a way out any longer. The trees with their roots,
conceptually sending back to sentiments felt by men. Trees that hang on to earth, as man hangs on to his traditions.
Trees that show their soul; they are hit by the sunlight that reveals their thousands of color shades. Ambrosoli’s painting
is the true painting of sentiment. A sentiment that comes out from the canvas and comes to live in our world”. Salvatore
Russo (Year 2013)

“Annemarie Ambrosoli’s landscapes create a dreamy, suspended atmosphere thanks to her bright brushstrokes, creating
a dialogue with “chiarismo” tonality that distinguishes paintings that place themselves in a slightly formal abstract context
until the completed expressive communication. Free of poetic and figurative conditioning, the works are dynamically
structured, marks become tools and colors attune toward transcendence and conclude in concrete harmony in a
message that does not repeat usual forms but brings about innovation of perception. The secure feature is dominant,
allowing itself the preciosity of discovery and the communication of hope but also anxiety traced on deep interiority.
Annemarie Ambrosoli’s nature gives up the perfect shape for a more symbolic language; there is a line that encloses
color in a diffuse tenderness, which makes the blues and reds that climb the twisted trees, the dark greens and yellows
that gradate the vegetation of the hills of personal interpretation” Giorgio Falossi (Year 2013)
“Annemarie Ambrosoli is inspired by nature, which she however never transfers on the canvas with truism. It is a fantasy
or better, a poetic revisitation of nature that entwines her personality and conception of life. Thanks to the use of joyous
colors and the agile interlacing of strokes forming images, we can sense that Ambrosoli belongs to a legion of positive
people with an optimistic character I would call Franciscan. In fact, her painting is “en plain air”, marvelously fresh and
strongly recalls impressionism…” Leo Strozzieri (Year 2012)
“…Starting from real landscapes, that is, really existing …. Ambrosoli transfigures in a fantastic and dreamlike key such
natural reality, nearly tracking down the unconscious spirit in nature…., as Schelling and generally the Romantic artists
wanted. Realizing a synthesis between form and colour, where both the elements involve one another, with a choice of
colours always tending to light, in a key that reminds of Goethe “Theory of colours” (Farbenlehre) and then to the
following theorizations of Schopenhauer and Steiner, with the obvious and also remarkable differences between these
theories, where all the chromatic spectrum is experienced, with a prevalence of apparently “soft” and delicate shades, in
fact really vivid…” Eugen Galasso (2011)
“The abstract atmosphere of these paintings hides soft and elegant landscapes, to be caught among chromatic elements
of the palette… Annemarie Ambrosoli paints pictorial visions of spontaneous and vivacious lyricism that lead us to dream
far away escapes, where images gain energy as they lose in detail … Moreover, she seems to indulge on those aspects
that allow to catch the time and make mistery perceivable. Her mellow, magic and suggestive canvas release authentic
reflections that help find again the transfigured beauty of nature” Paolo Levi (Year 2006)
“Annemarie Ambrosoli’s pictorial performance turns into a peculiar figurative vision, she shows an absolutely personal
gestural espressiveness, fully carried out with artistic awareness and technical virtuosity. Colour, the absolute
protagonist, achieves beautiful creative results, the fluid movement of the matter is particularly innovative and skifully
described, and broadens deeply in harmonious dialectics, sign of an “iter” of noticeable contemporaneity. Expressive
freedom, vibrant emphasizing of the importance of colour and quick drawing live on an inimitable interpretation, where
endless intimist messages continuously give prominence to the work, this development an intense and close dialogue
with nature. The artist Ambrosoli’s art is bearer of strong emotions, realized with great communicativeness because your
style, enlightened of originality and unmistakable narrative, charms the audience, projecting them in a balanced and
sensitive dimension…” M. Malì (Year 2005)
“What immediately meets the eyes, when observing a work by Annemarie Ambrosoli is the intense chromaticism of her
paintings. The colour strength and the vitality of the composition…In each of her paintings there is in faxt a continuous
dialogue with the surrounding world…What derives from that fine capacity to convey emotions and feelings…The results
are joyful compositions where the colour …is fluid and free to draw figures which are easy to make your own, without
ever losing neither in meaning nor in expressivity because it is important, in your works, never to appear banal…” Erika
Nicchiosini (2005)
