I believe that accepting brokenness is the source of all great beauty...

Step into the world of Rolinda:

Bella Rotta

Bella Rotta, meaning "Beautifully Broken" in Italian, embodies intentional brokenness in my art. I believe brokenness is the source of great beauty, which is why I break my paintings.

Initially, I struggled with perfectionism, leading to feelings of hopelessness and isolation. However, through my brokenness, I found a path to wholeness and developed my unique style, Bella Rotta. This approach liberated me from perfectionism, allowing me to embrace beauty in imperfection.

BIO

I grew up on a dairy farm, where I learned to nurture life and respect nature, shaping my artistic journey.

My artwork reflects early farm experiences and my children's perspective, focusing on the essence of nature and emotions rather than literal depictions.

Family influences are evident in my painting titles. My love for Italy, sparked by my husband, inspires me to convey its rich history and beauty through my art.

I employ a unique ten-step process to create texture and age in my paintings, using oils on self-made canvases.

The tactile nature of my work encourages viewers to engage with it, embracing imperfection as a source of grace and calm. Ultimately, I feel blessed to express my experiences and emotions through art.
