In the paintings and mixed media works of Lost and Found, Florimonte utilizes found or overlooked materials as collage elements. Discarded maps, aged book pages, shopping bags, and old sketches are combined with layers of color and brush work to create unexpected compositions and connections. The completed works are intended as a reflection on the inherent impermanence of the world.

Florimonte states “I paint from fragments of my memory: the space between two people, a smooth sea, the sound of the wind, reflections of light, the fall of a shadow, and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. These are the facets of nature that are impermanent, that are lost as time passes. The concept of ‘lost and found’ in my work is an exploration of the ephemeral and the enduring.”
