About the Artist

As you can see, each of Ester Curini’s subjects is an animal isolated on a white background. This is because they are in the main role rather than in a supporting one. Curini does this to give them a strong and powerful voice.  Animals need that voice, now more than ever, because they are so often mistreated. The annihilation of wildlife has become an emergency that threatens our planet. The mistreatment of domesticated and farm animals is rampant as well. Curini’s paintings reinforce that the only possible way for humans and animals to thrive is finding a compassionate way of coexistence.

Ester Curini (b. Casale Monferrato, Italy) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Curini is a self-taught painter and has exhibited in many notable galleries including Bernarducci Meisel Gallery (New York, NY), Evoke Contemporary (Santa Fe, New Mexico), Imago Galleries (Palm Desert, CA), Plus One Gallery (London, UK), and the Salmagundi Club (New York, NY). Curini has also exhibited her work in museums such as the Nassau County Museum of Art (Roslyn, NY) and the Ringling Museum of Art and Design (Sarasota, FL). Her work has been featured in domestic and international publications such as American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur, Poets & Artists Magazine, and International Artist’s Magazine. Curini’s paintings are included in the Seven Bridges Collection (Greenwich, CT) and the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation (Jersey City, NJ).
