RICCARDA DE ECCHER'S MONTAGNA

Don’t expect a romantic vision of the mountains when you look at Riccarda de Eccher’s work. You will not find the sentimental, dramatic landscapes which most artists represented in the XIX century, when Nature mirrored the mood of the painter.
Because she scaled the highest summits in the world, including Mount Everest, de Eccher knows her subject better than anybody. After years of mountain climbing under the most extreme conditions, she now transfers her passion on paper: a new challenge just as enticing and demanding. She transposes her experience by capturing the essence of the Dolomites, the mountain she prefers, which is situated in the northern Italian Alps. Using watercolor as her medium, de Eccher continues her Quest, letting the current of energy going through her hand. Because she is familiar with these majestic peaks, her pictorial lines often coincide with climbing ones. Emerging in front of your eyes, Marmolada, Croda da Lago, Pisciadù, Gruppo del Sella, where geometric, angular structures of the rock formations, shrouded in mist, dusted with snow, glimmer and vibrate under a unique light.
However, de Eccher’s mountains remain mysterious and… magical. It will be up to you to decipher their enigma!
