Serena Grassetti - Stay in Focus

“Stay in Focus” arises from the need to evoke an intense emotion without resorting to excess.
The naturally hand-extracted pigments and charcoal model a face with closed eyes, marked by drips that reveal what normally remains inside.
The phrase “STAY IN FOCUS” is an urgent, almost restrained message, inviting rediscovery of attention and inner presence.

A work that speaks with force, yet in a deep and authentic way

SERENA GRASSETTI — CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

Serena Grassetti is an Italian contemporary artist whose research investigates the complexity of the human being, exploring identity, memory, fragility, and inner transformation through a personal and multidisciplinary artistic language.

A daughter of art, trained at the Istituto d’Arte di Macerata, she has developed over the years a deep knowledge of matter and its expressive possibilities, experimenting with painting, sculpture, modeling, resins, charcoal and techniques related to Natural Art. This experience forms the foundation of a practice in which the material is not a simple support but an integral part of the meaning of the work.

At the center of her research is the body understood as a psychological and symbolic space: a presence capable of manifesting what words cannot express. Through incomplete figures, gestures charged with tension, and forms that oscillate between presence and dissolution, Grassetti gives visual substance to the deepest states of human experience.

Her work fits into the international dialogue of sculpture and contemporary figurative art, in thematic relation with the research of Rabarama, Berlinde De Bruyckere and Xiang Jing, while the comparison with Andy Warhol, Banksy, and KAWS opens a reflection on the different ways in which contemporary art interprets identity and the human condition.

With works presented in exhibition contexts in Italy and abroad, Serena Grassetti develops a research aimed at overcoming superficial representation to reach a more intimate and universal dimension. Her poetics rests on a fundamental principle: to give form to what is not seen, but which profoundly determines what we are.
