Alessandra Cortese de Bosis

I paint in oil on canvas, inspired by the quiet language of nature. From colorful trees to quiet waters, from thoughtful tulips to works instigated by the powerlessness, the anger, and the sadness stirred by war and abuse—and back to trees. This has been the path of my inspiration, guided by a desire to offer serenity to those of us who feel anxiety and stress: an invitation to pause, breathe, and find moments of stillness as a quiet response to hatred and evil.
Serenity, solitude, and hope are central to my visual language. I aim to create spaces of stillness—quiet meditations that invite the viewer to pause and breathe. I strive to capture what I see and what I feel: a positive outlook along with the awareness of the evil endured by so many.  
And my passion for our abused environment extends to my studio practice. I use old T-shirts and kitchen towels instead of paper towels, and clean yogurt tubs for color mixing and mediums. Our environment deserves our utmost respect.
