The works of the painting cycle “Donna” are a scenographic and symbolic representation of the woman, seen both through the eyes of an artist and through the eyes of a man.
With these paintings one intends to represent the woman beyond societal stereotypes: her essence, her humanity, her fragility, and at the same time her strength.
The choice of color, in its monochromatic, slightly cloudy tone, aims to convey a sense of mystery, experience and/or memory.
The veil that surrounds the woman has multiple meanings: the part that gently enfolds her body is pink, almost blending with her own skin; while the remaining part of it seeks to represent, through its tension, the influence of the social stereotype of a strong, emancipated, beautiful and slender woman.
The title of the work aims to aid in understanding it by using adjectives or names tied to its intention of humanizing it and capturing its essence.
