Artist

Elena Samperi

Elena Samperi is a Contemporary Abstract artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Elena Samperi liked to paint with watercolors while sitting outside, even when the wind blew. She used bright colors but kept her edges soft, so her figures seemed to dissolve into light. Her Madonna from 1979 isn’t a stiff religious icon, it feels like a woman in a sunlit garden.

If you like art that balances softness with strength, look for her watercolors at small galleries in Rome.
