 Italian
Color in the Home
Italian Macro Prints
The moods, sensuality and colors of the Italian countryside have
always been closely linked to Italian interior design. However, finding
the perfect way of bringing the true colors of Italian nature into the
Italian style home has always seemed to evade us, until now!
Young contemporary artists are capturing the vibrancy, sensuality
and sheer passion of the Italian countryside in all of it's four seasons,
in a completely new and original way. A new style of macro photography
has been able to capture the purity and essence of Italian nature by
using nature itself- the real and natural colors! By capturing the gentlest
of petal tones, the freshest of leafy greens, to highlighting the most
striking of color contrasts in their natural form. Some of these artists
have been able to underline natural beauty perfectly and transport it
into the home.
Hannah Summers and Italmacro, for example, have transformed photography
into an unique art-form, resembling contemporary abstract painting,
that pays a sensuous tribute to the wonder of natural color, form and
balance and renders it more than 'just a simple photograph'.
Using the wondrous natural colors of the Italian countryside, she
has released a range of stunning prints, named "Secrets of Italian Nature"
chosen to compliment any interior space, from the very softest Italian
pastels to the most vibrant, Etruscan color range. From holiday home
to family residence, her intuitive feel provides a color for every mood
and situation in a range of large prints which have all been collected
and inspired from the Italian countryside surrounding her studio in
Siena, Tuscany.
Unadulterated natural colors, no artificial manipulation or use of
Photoshop and a inherent understanding of color tones in the landscape,
gained from art studies in the U.K have enabled English-born Hannah
to produce stunning, sensuous images with tones to suit every lounge,
bedroom or reception room. Italian style and precision have led to a
perfect harmony between color in the landscape, it's varied tonal ranges
and all taken from the finest, natural palette of them all... Nature!
