Mafalda Cento - Artist's Biography
Mafalda Cento a native of Rome, Italy discovered her passion for art at a very early age.
With minimal formal training, she developed her own artistic style.
Mafalda was initially drawn to watercolors due to the medium's complexity and the challenges it creates
for an artist.
She went on to create award-winning subjects that have received praise for their loose
and fluid
approach. Her passion and dedication to painting prompted Mafalda to further explore
other painting mediums. Works in different mediums, her oil paintings and acrylic paintings, retain her
signature fluid style. Her latest works include loose, expressive images which reflect her creative vision.
Mafalda currently works from her studio in Staten Island, New York. She exhibits
her artwork in many venues throughout the metropolitan area most recently wining the “ Judges Choice”
award at the Twilight Parks’ annual art exhibition
held in Haines Falls, New York.
Mafalda welcomes her client’s requests for
commissioned art works and enjoys the relationship she develops through each unique
experience with her clients.
Many of Mafalda Cento's paintings are in private collections throughout the
United States, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean.
"I work very loosely and free. Subjects do not define my work but rather express my total artistic involvement with my creations. Painting has enabled me to go beneath the surface of my being, releasing my inner conscious and void of all aspects of traditional training, rules and regulations. I’m fueled by the passion I have for the creative and magical process of painting, which at times takes me to wonderful destinations. Perhaps my collages best describe my being totally free of all constraints.” Mafalda Cento
