Caterina Cenderello creates material abstract paintings where colour, gesture and light become a vivid presence. Her canvases are shaped by a broad, curved, continuous movement: a mark that crosses the surface, gathers the paint and opens it into luminous, emotional, deeply feminine forms.
Acrylic paint, crystals, coloured glass, glitter, small objects and precious fragments build dense, vibrant surfaces. The first impact is immediate, visual, almost joyful; then, as the viewer comes closer, the work reveals moods, tensions, delicacy and more intimate intentions.
For years, Caterina has called her works “corners of paradise”: not as the title of a closed series, but as a poetic key to her artistic research. Each painting is born from the desire to bring beauty, light and wonder into everyday spaces.
The forms sometimes recall stylised clouds, moving apparitions, traces suspended between energy and calm. They are works to be lived with the eyes: immediately accessible, yet able to unfold slowly for those willing to read their emotion, rhythm and depth.
Caterina Cenderello lives and works in Savona, Italy, where her studio is based. She has been painting since 2013 and is self-taught. Her current visual language comes from an ongoing research into colour, brush movement and the possibility of transforming pictorial matter into a luminous experience.
Her works are exhibited in Mondovì and Savona, and she takes part in group exhibitions across Italy. She is currently working on a solo exhibition in Savona planned for September. A highly prolific artist, she created more than fifty works in 2026 alone.
