RitaMarie Cimini  Bio & Statement
My intention in painting is to create works that draw the viewer gently into an introspective state of mind, I have become interested in portraying the extraordinary through depiction of the ordinary.  I seek to stimulate that feeling you get from time to time when, caught of guard, your usual surroundings seem new.
Across the three decades of painting since I received my MFA, my work has ranged from non-objective, to abstract, to renditions of cloudscapes and detailed landscape elements, to abstract with referential elements. At this time it straddles the line between formal abstraction and referential.

Color acts simultaneously as atmosphere and object in my work. In these works I have juxtaposed flat and gestural painting emphasizing the two dimensional quality with the flowing, seemingly three dimensional imagery, which moves into deeper space. The tension between reaffirming the surface and flowing imagery engenders a formal dimension and structure within the work. Energy and tension are also generated by a vacillation between lush and austere colorings. Through the use of formal elements of space, form and color, I pose questions rather than press a narrative.

Each painting is an open-ended exploration, there is no single interpretation of my work. It is my hope that my work will invite contemplation, drawing the viewer into this moment away from their ongoing activities. I hope the clarity of the work engages their attention, calling them to a moment of reflection.

RitaMarie Cimini, a fine artist living and working in New Jersey, taps into the collective consciousness via common experiences.  Trained as a formalist, Cimini
’s paintings are physical objects whose surfaces, allow the viewer to glimpse her working process. Her radiant paintings, informed by a daily meditation practice, investigate links between sight and interior vision.

Featured in multiple group and solo exhibitions, her work was notably included in an exhibit at Belskie Museum in Closter, NJ. While maintaining  a studio practice, she also served, until June 2019, as President of Studio Montclair, a non-profit visual arts organization. Cimini facilitates meditation groups and writes about art and spirituality for Huffington Post, Sivana Spirit, and her website, rmcimini.com.  Cimini holds an MFA in painting and sculpture from Bennington College and her work is held in private collections in the United States and abroad and in the public collections of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the MC Hotel.
