Maria Morganti describes her work thus: ‘I don’t make colour, I find it.’ The artist conceived her 'Sedimentation' painting for the nineteenth-century room in the museum home for her personal exhibition in 2008. Taking her cue from objects and paintings displayed in the room, particularly the colours of the flower in the hair of Alessandro Milesi’s 'La modella [The Model]' (1910), Morganti’s work absorbs the various hues. The creative process is clear on the upper edge of the canvas, where a history of the stratifications accumulates in thin layers: it is a chromatic diary, an accumulation of the experience, a trace of the artist’s work.
