About Amy Boren
I'm an American Contemporary Artist with a BFA in Fine Arts from Fashion Institute of Technology (NYC).
In 2024, I moved to Italy, settling in the heart of Tuscany. This new atmosphere inspired me to paint again after a 5 year hiatus. Here, history is etched into every stone, but there is so much new to see within the old.
In my work, I deconstruct form and shadow into abstract shapes and blur the lines between abstract and figurative. I search for the moments where solid structures create these accidental forms, stripping away the literal to focus on shape, tension, and depth and sculpting these forms with delicious texture and color. I do not aim to record the world as it is, but rather as it should feel.
