Notes
"Siofra" is a captivating artwork by Anne-Marie Zanetti, an installment in her Reminisce series. This series centers around Zanetti's youngest daughter, Bec, who becomes a wellspring of inspiration. In "Siofra," Bec is portrayed wearing striking large frameless purple sunglasses, her hair arranged in a half-up, half-down style. The backdrop is adorned with a vibrant 70s floral pattern in shades of green and turquoise, accentuated with touches of red that match her nail polish.
The heart of the Reminisce series lies in Zanetti's exploration of the profound connection between her daughter and herself. By repeatedly depicting Bec in her art, Zanetti unlocks hidden truths about her own past, particularly her experiences during the transformative years of the 1970s and 1980s. As Bec transitions beyond her teenage years, Zanetti's own memories from that era resurface, demanding her attention.
The portraits in this series are skillfully crafted to evoke the essence of the bygone era, echoing its distinctive styles and cultural nuances. Through this artistic endeavor, Zanetti aims not only to gain a deeper understanding of the insights that dwell within the shadows of her own history but also to empower these insights with a resounding voice. "Siofra" is a testament to the artist's ability to bridge the gap between generations and articulate the timeless truths embedded in the tapestry of personal experiences.
BIOGRAPHY
Anne-Marie Zanetti is a self-styled, award winning Australian artist whose photorealist paintings featuring rich luminous colours, dramatic use of sunlight and intricate details are held in galleries and private collections here and internationally.
Starting her art practice later in life – she was in her early 40s – Anne-Marie's work is inspired by delving into personal experience, namely the stunning range of human emotions.
The emerging artist is most inspired when she is truly vulnerable and present to both the external and internal worlds. From the drama of a smashed watermelon to the intensity of her portraits, AnneMarie's oil pieces embody intrigue and passion. They are eye catching, rhythmical, flowing, bold and strong.
Anne-Marie is devoted to a singular purpose. To illuminate the preciousness of objects and moments in time that may otherwise seem insignificant or ordinary...to invite viewers to enter a meditative place by feeling a sense of intimacy, wonder and awe...and to crack wide open the world's beauty for all to see.
The soulful quality of Anne-Marie's work stems primarily from a traumatic experience early on that was to profoundly change her life. At 17, she fell pregnant and, under hushed circumstances, flew to the other side of Australia to give birth and adopt out her daughter.
With hindsight and the benefit of many years of self-exploration, Anne-Marie now considers her life to be incredibly blessed. She is married to a loving man and mother to two more wonderful children and very grateful to be happily reconnected with her first daughter and family, including two grandchildren.
The process of dealing with her grief, loss and the multitude of other emotions, however, is for her never-ending and constantly shape-shifting, akin to 'walking the tight line'. One of the ways in which Anne-Marie reclaims those essential parts of herself is through her art practice.
Each painting is a sensitive expression of another layer peeled back, another truth exposed, another light shone on a situation no matter how unbearable. The unfathomable depth of relinquishing her first daughter, and that of motherhood in general (including the ineffable joys), now informs her canvas. There, it is therapeutically transformed.
