MEDIA GUIDE

The Ultimate Color ExpertConcetta Antico is fast becoming one of the most talked about women on the planet. Fine artist, teacher, lecturer and the world’s first functioning Tetrachromat, Concetta is capable of seeing and producing up to 100 million colors than the rest of us. Last year alone, international press attention for Concetta garnered over 480 million media impressions and is still growing.

Concetta’s genetic ability to see more color than any other human being continues to astound both the scientific and the artistic community alike. As equally exceptional as her super-human color perception, are her visionary oil paintings, which continue to be coveted by collectors all over the world. With over 1000 painting sold to date, her body of work includes florals, scenes of nature’s beauty, otherworldly wonders, flights of whimsy, homages to her native Australia, the regions surrounding her magical home in Sydney, and her breathtaking restored farm.

Concetta’s paintings are recognized for both their vibrancy as well as their subtlety in regard to her signature blends of color. Equally noteworthy is Concetta’s unyielding commitment to never leave a canvas until a painting is completed. All of her paintings, remarkably, are created in a single sitting.

Concetta knows, loves, and lives color.

Muse and EducatorConcetta created her original, beautiful San Diego gallery, The Salon of Art, in 1995. Her US atelier became a mecca for artists of all ages seeking instruction and inspiration.

As a leader in the international arts community with her galleries and schools in the US and Australia, Concetta’s boundless enthusiasm, dedication and passion for art are evident, and have been passed on to more than 20,000 students of every age and level. Her elegant galleries are home to frequent events, exhibits and open houses that serve their mission to provide the world’s most unique art education environment, offering students individualized attention and focused artistic development under the tutelage of one of the most talked about artists in the world.

Concetta creates a love of color in the world.

the gift

MEDIA GUIDE

Superior Color PerceptionWhile the average person possesses three color receptors in their eyes, scientific analysis conducted at the University of Washington in 2012 conclusively affirmed that Concetta possesses an extremely rare fourth color receptor, the key to her superhuman ability to see up to 100 million more colors.

Dr. Kimberly Jameson at the University of California, Irvine refers to Concetta’s multi-dimensional talents as “the perfect storm” for the human realization of functioning Tetrachromatic color vision.

This miraculous gift, coupled with a lifetime spent blending and expressing the emotional language of color, has empowered Concetta with an ability that no other artist has ever possessed.

Concetta’s super vision resolves up to one hundred million more colors than regular vision.

MEDIA GUIDE

A New Technical AgeConcetta is more than just a celebrated artist and a beloved educator. She is the founder of a totally new era called Tetrachromatism, the fusion of fine art and color science.

Her scientifically-endorsed superhuman ability to swiftly resolve and create nuances in color is enhanced by her Tetrachromatic gift. As a result, she is able to produce visionary masterpieces on canvas in a fraction of the time it would take any other master artist. Paint application is markedly fast, deft, color-rich and applied with brush strokes of remarkable fluidity. Additionally, accurate value and shades of color identification slows for realistic, albeit Impressionistic, results in mere moments. Even a large canvas is filled in brief periods with amazing ease and accuracy. And Concetta’s signature juxtaposition of color and the use of color-rich lights and shadows, often complementary in nature, create spectacular, almost 3D holographic effects that are said to dance on the canvas.

Through Concetta’s visionary work, viewers experience color like never seen before.
