Barbara S Stamegna - Loving Family

Loving Family is an intense and deeply evocative work, in which the themes of unity, protection and emotional bond are expressed through an abstract language rich in symbols and stratifications. The pictorial surface, built with enamels and acrylic paints applied also in relief, presents a complex and dynamic composition, in which fluid and fragmented forms intertwine as presences in mutual dialogue.
The colors, vibrant and contrasting, range from deep greens and blues to the warmer reds and oranges, creating an emotional tension that recalls the intensity of family relationships, made of energy, harmony and sometimes conflict, but always brought back to a core of love and belonging. The central shapes seem to wrap around and support each other, symbolically suggesting the strength of the family bond as a space for growth, protection and sharing.
The work fully reflects the poetics of Barbara S Stamegna, a Roman artist born in 1971, whose creative path is guided by a constant quest for spiritual and inner truth. Barbara has shown since childhood a marked predisposition for drawing and art, but it is from the early 1990s that she determinedly undertakes an artistic career, pairing painting with an intense exploration of the spiritual world and of different religious traditions, in search of universal truths.
Reserved artist and not prone to words, Barbara S Stamegna finds in painting the most authentic expressive medium to communicate deep, ethical, and inner content. The choice to sign the works with the given name and surname in opposite directions reflects her vision of art as a subjective and transformative experience, in which the final meaning arises from the encounter between the artwork and the observer. In recent years, her artist name has become established as Barbara S Stamegna, underscoring an identity signature that is now recognizable even at the international level.
In the course of his career he has received numerous prestigious recognitions, including the Oscar Award for Visual Arts in Castrocaro Terme, the Grand Prize of Italy, the Pacis Cup Award in Florence, the Milanart award and the Europe Art Mediolanum Award in Milan, and the International Portugal Award (City of Lisbon). He has exhibited in important venues in Italy, including the famous Via Margutta in Rome, and abroad with solo and group exhibitions, participating several times in Artexpo New York, and in 2023 he presented the four-month solo exhibition “The Ways of the Spirit” at Palazzo Caetani in Cisterna di Latina. His works are part of public and private collections in the United States and in Europe.
Loving Family is a unique work, representative of the artist's expressive maturity, ideal for collectors interested in research-oriented contemporary art, capable of combining symbolic value, emotional intensity, and material quality.
