Di Toro creates large series, exploring the plastic possibilities of form and color, through a powerful abstraction that is unquestionably limited to two-dimensionality. Rigorously guided by geometry, her painting is at once vibrant, systemic and purist. The lines that intersect, break or dispose in parallel generating planes and creating modules that divide the surface. With these few elements, Di Toro elaborates a precise logic that she will be able to recombine in new paintings, with only introducing minimal alterations. In this way she gives rise to a system in which each element is intimately linked with the others: each color, each shape, each distribution in the plane, pre-announce to others. Analytical and highly encoded, Di Toro's abstract geometry is presented as the corollary of systemic thinking, but never predictable.
