Author Description

AFA Exclusive! Nicoletta’s Lovely Lolita's wade through the collateral damage of broken relationships and the absurdities that arise when trying to mend them. They are frozen in a dreamscape, and though the thought of escaping tugs gently at their sub-conscious minds, their hopes of escaping are overwhelmed by the ease of being controlled. Ceccoli’s soft color palate and delicate brushwork allow the dark and damaged to be sublime. Complex and uncomfortable emotions are portrayed within harmonious compositions, where they are intricately examined with a tenderness and beauty that both entice and sadden the viewer.
