"The achievement of harmony is the culmination of an inner quest to grasp its essence, hence the figurative, graphic, and pictorial character, legible in memory, poetry, dreams, and humanity, which manifests itself in the Pop Poetry series. It is also found in light and water, as in the universe and its biodiversity, at the origin of the Lucina, Acquaviva, and Amazonia cycles. And it is rooted in history, particularly with regard to the emancipation of women, to which the Italian artist Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert, a French citizen by adoption, attributes the name Anni Ruggenti. Entirely captured in the vibrancy of a sign imbued with an innate sensitivity, where acrylic and graphite, sublimated by the presence of iridescent pigments, gold, and silver, forge a subjective and captivating visual language that becomes "medium," through which Viotti-Gilabert, with forms and colors, skillfully explains the intimacy of poetics. The first, with their rounded and sinuous shapes, whose gentleness metaphorically rejects any rational connotation, fully aspire to the breadth of shared emotion. The second, vibrant, evoke a "pop" aesthetic that captivates the eye through contrast, accentuated by the immaculate white background that reveals the original purity and radiant creativity of an exceptional artist."
Pietro Franca, curator
Wikiarte Gallery, Historic Centre of Bologna, Italy Anthological exhibition of Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert (Catalog)
"Born in the Piedmontese hills, Alessandra Viotti-Gilabert now displays her art on the French Riviera, between Mediterranean light and inner silence. In her works, each line breathes, each color speaks. Her style? A rare alchemy: stylized realism and poetic abstraction, driven by a sense of the minimal to only highlight for the essential. Her paintings, conceived as series, are visual narratives where emotion surfaces, where form becomes symbol. Alessandra delicately questions the times: society, memory, humanity. She doesn't just paint what she sees, she paints what deserves to be felt. Exhibited in Paris, Tokyo, and Seoul, recognized by the Taylor Foundation and the Académie Arts Sciences et Lettres de Paris, she accumulates accolades without ever losing sight of the essence of her art: to move, to transmit, to awaken...."

"...The works of Alessandra Viotti attracted the attention of visitors during the February exhibition at L'Artistes-Galerie des Arts (Caen). Spectators were immediately seduced by the artist’s refined drawings, by the freshness that emanates from its. But let's not be mistaken, behind the aesthetic which immediately seduces, the apparent lightness or the false simplicity, the works of Alessandra Viotti deal with real current issues such as violence against women and have allowed visitors to take a second look at the works of this committed artist and appreciate their full dimension..."

Director of The Artists Gallery, Caen

"... Her work is characterized by a subtle fusion between realism and abstraction, in a minimalist style. Realism is manifested by the refined representation of its subjects while abstraction is found in the expression of colorful symbols carrying emotions and ideals. Her works are the result of careful study and careful thought in order to appear simple. Her pictorial series all explore a central theme, born from reflections often linked to society and its emotions. Alessandra seeks committed, authentic art that resists artifice and simulacra. Committed to biodiversity Alessandra Viotti is an artist who proudly carries Italian artistic heritage in the art world..."

"...In 2017, in France, she redefine her approach between purity and fineness of spidery line. Alessandra touches with light touches the essential contours of an expression, of a look where sometimes a perceptible tear of blood pearls. Isolated, compartmentalized in their respective bubble, each color revolves in choreography around essential figurative symbols. In the realism of the subjects, she composes the faces of women, children, men or animals. The abstract part of his compositions is part of the ballet of tonal colors and swirling harmonies that transcend fears, joys, love... the feelings that the artist has been working on in series since 2017. Each creation seems to arise spontaneously both of the delicate precision of the contour and the intense mastery of the contour. Their symbiosis has only one goal: to magnify emotions in a cerebral quest for authenticity and sublimated beauty, drawn from the magical sources of hearts and souls..."

"...Alessandra Viotti has the gift of expressing her emotions and passions in her works, managing to convey her feelings to the observer without excess.
Its almost minimalist style is the sign of a well-calibrated stylistic approach, the result of a controlled creative capacity, due both to to experience and a rational mental and manual attitude.
Her works are designed with clean lines which, with few symbols, clearly express the figure she wishes to represent. Emotions and passions, embodied by the colors present in each work, are circumscribed in sometimes abstract forms.
Everything is controlled and calibrated in order to convey the concepts behind the forms that this artist constantly wishes to express..."
