Melodium II (18×18 oil painting on paper)

Emanuel Mattini was born in 1966 in Shiraz, Iran, which is known as the valley of poets and philosophers. He received his education from the Atlanta Institute of Art with extensive studies in painting and photography. Mattini is an artist strongly influenced by music. His works have melded color, texture and instrumental form in such a way that the music in each painting can almost be heard. Seeking new psychological and philosophical perspectives, Emanuel paints almost exclusively en serie ‘ allowing infinite variations to unfold and multiply from a single basic framework. This style approaches the postmodern, de-centered attitudes of late-twentieth century art.
