An explosion of color, emotion, and symbolism captivated the audience at World Art Dubai 2025 with the triumphant return of Anne Marie Torrisi. The French artist, known for her unmistakable style and intense expressive power, once again fascinated collectors and art enthusiasts under the curation of Tablinum Cultural Management, offering a selection of works capable of transforming the canvas into a theater of dreams, passions, and deep reflections.
Her creations – Le Banc de l’Amour (2024), Cartes en Main (2015), L’Arbre de Vie (2024), L’Enfant (2020), and Salvador Dalí – stood as milestones in an intense and visionary artistic journey, where the artistic gesture intertwines with a powerful, universal narrative. Her style, balancing between expressionism and dreaminess, gave life to vibrant compositions that engage the viewer in a dimension where reality and imagination merge into a single, overwhelming aesthetic experience.
The theme of choice and destiny is particularly strong in Cartes en Main (2015), where the protagonist holds playing cards, symbols of opportunity, uncertainty, and free will. The sinuous lines and the use of bright colors infuse the work with a sense of continuous movement, amplifying the tension between chance and determination.
Love is the common thread of Le Banc de l’Amour (2024), in which Torrisi captures the intimacy of a deep bond through a composition dense with lyricism. The protagonists, seated on a bench that becomes a metaphor for a shared life, emerge from a suspended and poetic atmosphere, while the chosen color palette enhances the emotional depth of the work, transforming it into an ode to complicity and passion.
With L’Arbre de Vie (2024), Torrisi celebrates the cycle of life through a compositional structure rich in energy and symbolism. The tree, a universal icon of growth and transformation, becomes a bridge between the past, present, and future, vibrating under the chromatic intensity that makes it pulsate with light and vitality.
Salvador Dalí is a tribute to the genius of surrealism, reinterpreted through the visionary lens of the artist. The chromatic power and bold lines enhance the eccentric character of the Catalan master, in a dialogue between past and present that reflects Torrisi’s ongoing exploration of the universe of imagination.
Finally, L’Enfant (2020) conveys the magic of a child’s gaze, inviting the viewer to rediscover the world with the wonder of someone seeing it for the first time. The dynamism of the composition and the brightness of the colors give the work a sense of lightness and spontaneity, in perfect harmony with the artist’s poetic approach.
Anne Marie Torrisi’s success at World Art Dubai 2025 confirms the strength of her artistic language in the international scene. Her style, which blends Fauvist and Expressionist influences with a deep symbolic sensitivity, found a perfect stage at the Dubai fair to establish itself among a cosmopolitan audience attentive to contemporary art. Thanks to the curation of Tablinum Cultural Management, her participation became a highly impactful event, reaffirming the fair’s role as a crossroads of cultures and languages. Her works, capable of conversing with the viewer through color and visual storytelling, once again demonstrate that art is a bridge between souls, a mirror of the human essence, and a universal language that speaks directly to the heart.
