The series consists of oil palette knives on paper. Landscapes and geometric abstracts. With these works, Giovannella won first prize ex aequo at the 2005 Portoferraio Suggestions competition, presenting three pieces: Vases on the Sea, Illuminated Village, and Sail and Bougainvillea. She also won sixth prize at the 2005 Pontassieve Prize.
Giovannella worked extensively with the palette knife in art school; it’s a tool she finds congenial and expresses her.
