Antonella Catini does not paint for pleasure but for necessity. Her brush strokes speak of tension anger the search for inner peace the need to express something- anything! her latest painting are around the theme of the "search for joy"   in her own words   something she finds near impossible. In every moment of joy there lies the seed of tragedy, we smile but bear the wounds of life. These paintings can be enjoyed as beautiful explorations of colour and texture but remeber what lies beneath.
