laura Muolo - La Mondina

CONCEPT OPERA:
What a quiet, ancient, and sincere gaze,
Tell a story of mud and thought.
The Mondina was her trade.
Among the rice paddies at dawn, a sun to be feared.
A long time ago, the girls were already working,
with small hands, but they were already bending.
It would have been better to run and play,
that time consumes among the ears.
It's better to laugh out loud, without pain.
staying with your parents, seeking warmth,
Stay a little longer to be loved.
Don't grow up fast, but take your time.
But this was the world, this its path...

NEWS ABOUT THE ARTIST
Laura Muolo, born in 1975, is a Milanese by birth and a Rimini native by adoption. She has been approaching art as a self-taught artist since 2013. Her initial medium is graphite, with which she immediately seeks to achieve the realism of faces, later exploring other mediums such as pastel and painting.
She participates in many group exhibitions across Italy and internationally, and she also exhibits her works in important Italian museums. Her works are part of several private collections around the world. Four solo exhibitions so far. She has collaborated on designing the cover of a poetry book in 2015 and on the cover of a philosophy book in 2023.
Winner and finalist in several artistic competitions, at the national and international level.
Laura describes her work this way: "I prefer oil painting for its reflective nature: it allows me to build the image step by step, changing, smoothing, and perfecting. Sometimes I use pastel on cardboard to capture the subject's essence immediately, in a direct and instinctive way. My style is realistic, but my painting tells inner worlds, hidden emotions, and stories to decipher."
My works move between dreamlike landscapes and figures immersed in their own thoughts, accompanied by shadows that reveal what is unseen: desires, fears, memories. Each scene is born from photographs of young subjects and takes shape through symbols, objects, and animals that give voice to a memory or to a deep feeling. Painting, for me, is a journey into the dimension of the unsaid.

Laura collaborates with the Ranarossa galleries in Modena and LoyeloArtGallery in Volterra.
