Genevive Zacconi employs traditional oil painting techniques alongside age-old symbolism to create works that explore interpersonal dynamics, spirituality, feminine archetypes, and broader aspects of the human experience. Over the past few years, her art has incorporated carving into the wood panels she paints on, as well as overlays of gold leaf — the artist has stated that she uses incision and reflection as a response to the digital era, creating objects that cannot be replicated on a screen or by a printing machine, and that demand to be experienced in person.
Her new series, “Invictus,” delves into themes of resilience, drawing loosely on imagery and esoteric references from Classical Antiquity. Inspired by her own experiences and shaped by universal themes, Zacconi compiles ancient iconography into a personal language, layering meaning in each painting much as she layers her materials, and creating depth that invites viewers to explore both the physical and narrative strata of her work.
