About Enzina Fuschini
Enzina Fuschini is an acclaimed international, fine artist and designer who has been recognised and awarded across the UK, Europe and the US for her work. She is passionate about living life to the full, and committed to completely expressing herself through art.
Enzina’s new work marks a fresh beginning for this prolific artist, tapping into a fountain of original and exciting creativity. Enriched by forty years of experience, her new collection moves boldly into the abstract. Her message is vibrant and consistent, full of soulful resolution and faith.
Born in the tiny village of Matierno, Southern Italy, Enzina’s love of art began early. Her mother and grandmother introduced to her a world of creativity and visualisation that has carried her through all life’s ups and downs. She studied at the Art Institute of Salerno, and in her early surrealist style was championed by the master Giorgio De Chirico. By no means the only notable figure in her career Enzina was also supported by Mihail Chemiakin, with whom she shared inspiration and ideas.
Enzina went on to develop a powerful style all her own, Sincerismo. Sincerismo springs from the desire to live in a way in which each of our truths and realities are open to all, and utmost to ourselves, without deception. It imagines a transparent humanity which embraces compassion, forgiveness and generosity, and expresses the liberation and fulfilment of human beings - should the many masks of fear, shame, control and guilt be peeled away, allowing us to be ourselves completely.
Across her career her work has drawn comparisons from critics to the wit and vitality seen in Picasso, Perahim, Matisse, Klee, Miro and Kandinsky. She has exhibited globally; and her pieces are collected by the most prominent art collectors in the world. Such art collectors include Rüdiger Weng, whose private collection is home to Enzina’s series from the 90’s.
These photos were taken when I was 6 years old for the local Carnival in my hometown of Salerno, Italy. My mother hand-sowed my fairy costume with turquoise crepe paper and with gold stars. We were poor, and my mother could not afford to buy me a satin dress, like the ones my other friends had. But, when I wore the dress she made for me, I felt very loved and special.
My mother, Carmelina De Simone, was a gifted seamstress, extremely creative, and an artist in her own right. She never had the opportunity to develop her talents, but she always encouraged me to pursue my ambitions.
It was because of my mother that I decided to play with some brushes, and started painting. I was only 6 years of age. My first painting depicted my dream home.
But the most precious gift my mother ever gave me was making me understand the love of God and His living presence in my life.
My Christian faith has supported me in my darkest moments, through many trials and difficulties, and has given me the assurance of eternal life through Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I try to convey His message of love, endurance and perseverance in my art. After all, He is the best artist of all: he created the world.
- Enzina Fuschini
John 16:17 - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
