Stefania Ormas - L'istante scelto

The emotional core of this painting is the gaze of the model. Her dark eyes are directed straight at the viewer, charged with a silent awareness. The gesture of the left hand, which absentmindedly plays 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 inhabits her space with confidence; her gaze is not of submission, but of assertion. This painting (oil on canvas 90x65 cm) is part of the series "because I want it", which is an exploration of personal freedom and the reclaiming of one’s own body. Stefania Ormas, Italian painter, trained in painting at the International Art School of Terni, has in recent years exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions both in Italy and abroad, such as: Casa de la Cultura de Navacerrada – Madrid, Palacio del Infantado in Guadalajara, Museo Reina Sofía – Madrid, RED03 Gallery in Barcelona, Galeria Bernet in Barcelona, Roccartgallery in Florence. Her works are present in private collections in Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, America, and publicly as in the municipality of Gata de Gorgos in Spain.
The world she represents is mainly feminine, and she does it with a careful and realistic eye, always capturing a poetic thread. Her style is a compendium of the most recent painting forms, keeping a tight hold on her figurativism with attention to the anthropology of the character.
