The initial, and naturally most obvious aspect of Tiberino’s work, is her technique. Her people, and one can only think of them as the “people” in her work rather than the work’s “subjects,” seem beyond life-like: elongated figures; exaggerated, yet graceful and powerful hands; faces and heads emphasized, sometimes with little more than a suggestion of a body. Her people are strongly rendered, given a pulsating life-force through line, shape, and color. Her figurative style is unique, and her control over line and shape, hue and value is both complete and dramatic.
