Each Portrait has an history, each painting revolves around the childs' moment and gesture. Their eyes captivate viewers and  draw them into the painting. In the subjects of childhood the themes of innocence and simplicity are central. The muted brushstrokes of color can be understood only through the deep filter of the soul, capable of bringing the observer almost to a platonic ecstasy.

The Tulip Series 
Mixed Media on Canvas.

The Tulip Series,

Mixed Media on Canvas 

2011

 This particular body of work is a mixed media. I paint the silk with dyes, set the colors by steam, wash the silk, iron and stretch it again on a temporary frame. Than I paint over with oil pastels and graphic markers and mount the silk on a stretched linen.  I am an avid gardener and I regret I cannot grow tulips in the warm climate of Los Angeles, so I decided to depict them in the most voluptuous and sensuous forms I found in some species.

The Age of Discovery

"Columbus, il Genovese"
Oil on Board 36"x24"

"Columbus, il Genovese"

Oil on Board 36"x24"

1990

"...if one ask the painter, why Columbus? She answers, "because I am also from Genoa. I know his turf and I can well understand the feelings, the anxieties, and the anguish that spring up in that corner of the world. I also admire the sheer courage of this amazing man".

Columbus, an exceptional son of is native land, his time, and again depicted on a background of oceanic skies. The variations in his face express a wide range of sentiments and passions: faith and uncertainty, premonitions of triumph, desire, extravagance, the attraction of the unknown, and the inspiration of youthful beauty.

As an artist and a woman who is sensitive to outward forms, she intends to express the spell of this grand figure from the past. In the contemporary world Columbus is still the symbol of daring, the stubbor belief in oneself. In a way these are also talents that are part of the make-up of any artist. But here the woman's sheer admiration explains some of the impulse to pick up a brush and transfer her emotions into canvas..."

From An Essay by Marialuisa Marchi

Di XX Miglia  was selected by The Italian American Columbus Foundation to create evocative portraits of Christopher Columbus and his men for the 500th Anniversary of the Discovery of America. Her work was feature on the front and back cover of the "Columbus: Countdown 1992" Program & Journal for the awards-dinner .
