Angela Cortese

Angela Cortese is an Italian artist whose contemporary abstract paintings are defined by expansive fields of color, expressive gestures, and vivid contrasts. Through layered applications of pigment and texture, she creates compositions where small figurative elements occasionally surface—fragments of reality emerging from an abstract terrain shaped by memory and perception. Drawing on the principles of Psychosynthetic Art and influenced by Roberto Assagioli, Cortese uses color, gesture, and recollection as means to examine emotion, inner life, and vital energy in her studio practice.
