Manifestation stands out among other artworks with its unique portrayal of the creature. Terranova skillfully uses her brush to capture the essence of this incredible being, showcasing its strength and grace in equal measure. The addition of gold foil enhances the divine characteristics of the subject, creating a truly mesmerizing piece.
Using acrylic on canvas as her medium, Terranova brings her vision to life. The artist's journey began in 2015, guided by a visionary who recognized her unique path and encouraged her to follow her dreams. The realization of Manifestation took place in Perth, Western Australia, with the project spanning from October 2015 to January 2016.
One of the challenges Terranova faced was ensuring that the horse depicted in Manifestation appeared alive and full of movement. Achieving the right proportions was crucial to capturing the creature's energy accurately. The application of gold leaf required precision to enhance the design without overpowering it.
Manifestation is not just a beautiful artwork; it is an interactive piece that can adorn walls, spaces, and rooms, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment. With its dimensions of 600mm width, 760mm height, and 35mm depth, this canvas artwork commands attention and creates a captivating focal point.
Recognized for its exceptional design, Manifestation was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category in 2017. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon creations that demonstrate outstanding design, practicality, and innovation, meeting professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world.
Manifestation is a testament to Patrizia Terranova's artistic talent and her ability to capture the essence of a divine creature through her brushstrokes. With its unique interpretation and use of gold foil, this canvas artwork is a true manifestation of beauty, strength, and artistic vision.
