As a Master Artist and Tetrachromat, the power of Concetta’s work begins with her first abundant color-
filled glance and ends with her last brilliant brushstroke.
Exquisite depth, composition, value and precise divine colors produce extraordinary canvases that are as
profound as they are poetic.
When the Muse glances, she gathers all, then adds her special magic to manifest masterpieces!

Tetrachromacy
“She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes:”

Her TetrachromacyConcetta comprises “the perfect storm” for the human realization of Tetrachromatic color vision.
Her rare genotype provides for a fourth receptor in her eyes.
Her lifelong fine art career makes her a gifted master artist extraordinaire.
Her “Super Vision” status takes her beyond previously known color and value use.
The production of her oil on canvas works is excelerated so as to create disbelief to the viewer.
A process so powerful it is impossible to comprehend, as if magic.
Regular human vision may resolve a maximum of 1 million colors.
Concetta’s Tetrachromatic potential reaches up to 100 million colors.
At this time Concetta Antico is the only known Tetrachromat Artist on Earth.

Tetrachromat Artist’s Statement
I preserve life’s fleeting beauty and truth in my oil paintings by capturing the colors the creator intended us to see. My quest is to portray the essence and immediate
energy I feel and the impressions of Earth’s exquisiteness. Subjects speak from my canvas with visual conversations born of the human eye and bliss of the heart.
To capture life’s loveliness and sustain it in this reality, my works are limited to one sitting with faith that all my creations are sublime in their purest form, upon birth. My personal challenge therefore excludes amendments that would make originals
substitutions. I commit to a pure and raw emotion upon inception.
My technical dialogue speaks of deft value, color, form and poetic brushstrokes, performed synchronistically in one act. This command manifests visual stories onto
my canvas, which generate a life force all their own.
View my art and know me. For what I saw, what stirred in my mind and filled my heart with joy will remain, forever.
