Gilda Convertino Instagram @gilda.convertino Gilda Convertino is an Italian-born licensed architect and visual artist. Her artist practice encompasses landscape architecture, urbanism and garden design with a focus in exploring the relationship between anthropic space and the natural environment. Her work in landscape representation using black ink patterns and gold leaf decorations is connected to the idea of observing, researching and translating thematic elements of the landscape and cityscape into a specific, visually sensitive image. She explores space through its individual elements and their materiality, expressed with various patterns. Each artwork represents a landscape story able to narrate the identity of a place and broaden the observer’s understanding.

The works of R.Drada are preoccupied with interrogation of freedom, power and idealism alongside a critique of American culture and articulated through the lens of an outsider. Through the visceral language of impasto oil paint and strong colors, R. Drada lays bare the raw emotions that course through the human condition.
