Fiorenza Gorini was born and raised in Milan, Italy, and started her professional artistic career in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008, perfecting a variety of techniques and subjects in college and then with local and national mentors.
Her interest has been drawn mostly to the human figure. Her literature research background has strongly influenced her story-telling themes, often referencing elements of Western culture and myths, where women are central characters.
Figure painting has allowed her to experiment over time with different stylistic approaches, “moving freely from a representational style to an abstract direction and vice-versa, simply following the inspiration of the moment”.
Along with the narrative thread, she draws her attention to geometric abstraction and synthesis, as she focuses her creative process on design and color mixing, but also enjoys the unpredictable results of unplanned and spontaneous production of organic shapes: “Behind the creative process I always feel a sense of mystery and excitement”.
Her most recent work has been displayed at the De Young Museum of San Francisco CA, at the Triton Museum of Art of Santa Clara CA, and exhibited in a solo show “Perspectives | the human figure” at the Pacific Art League of Palo Alto CA.
