Artist Spotlight - Thia Path

Biography

Thia Path, born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and active in Piacenza (Italy), is an artist who has transformed color into an identity-driven language and a distinctive expressive force. After a solid background as an architect and educator, and years of research exploring art, matter, and space, her encounter with the work of Mark Rothko marked a decisive turning point: from that moment on, painting became her absolute territory.

Her practice develops within contemporary abstract expressionism, with works characterized by intense fields of color, conscious gestural movement, and a profound emotional tension. She has exhibited in Italy and abroad, and her canvases are included in international private collections.

Her journey also culminated in the publication of "Dialogare con la tela. Scoprire sé stessi con il Metodo RilassARTE®" (Pensa Multimedia, 2025), a volume in which she shares the RilassARTE® Method, a synthesis of her artistic and pedagogical experience: an approach that brings together creation, awareness, and inner transformation, making her work not merely an object to be collected, but a living and resonant experience.

Artist Statement

"The sign belongs to time: it captures a moment, a memory. Color, however, transcends it, dissolves boundaries, and leads us toward the infinite, toward what we still do not know." Thia Path.

In Thia Path's work, gesture is both origin and truth. Each canvas is born from a necessary movement, from an impulse that passes through the body and settles in color before it even becomes form. Color is living matter, vibration, an energetic presence: it does not describe, but acts.

Intense chromatic fields, layerings, and transparencies construct emotional spaces in which tension and silence coexist, inviting the viewer into a direct and immersive experience. This vision resonates with the thought of Mark Rothko, for whom painting must be an event capable of touching the deepest dimensions of being.

For Thia Path, art is a space of revelation: a place where one frees oneself from superstructures and comes into contact with one's own authenticity. There is no narration, but presence; not representation, but energy that manifests itself. Her works require time, listening, and a willingness to be moved through.

It is in this silent dialogue between surface and interiority that painting performs its most powerful act: generating awareness, transformation, and an intense connection between the work, the space that welcomes it, and the person contemplating it.
