Stefania Ormas - L'istante scelto

The emotional core of this painting is the model's gaze. Her dark eyes are directed straight at the viewer, full of a silent awareness. The gesture of her left hand, idly playing with a lock of hair, adds a note of naturalness and spontaneity. The nudity is not presented as an object of passive desire, but as a conscious choice. The woman occupies her space with confidence; her gaze is not one of submission, but of affirmation. This painting (oil on canvas 90x65 cm) is part of the series "why I want it", which is an exploration of personal freedom and reclaiming one’s own body. Stefania Ormas, Italian painter, graduated in painting from the International Art School in Terni, has in recent years held several solo and group exhibitions both in Italy and abroad, such as: Casa de la Cultura de Navacerrada - Madrid, Palazzo del Infantado in Guadalajara, Museo Reina Sofia - Madrid, RED03 Gallery in Barcelona, Galeria Bernet in Barcelona, Roccartgallery Florence. Her works are in private collections in Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, America, and publicly in places like the town of Gata de Gorgos in Spain. The world she represents is predominantly feminine, and she does so with a careful and realistic eye, always capturing a poetic vein. Her style is a compendium of the most recent painting forms, keeping her figurativism tight while paying attention to the anthropology of the subject.
