Internata 1944

Critical description

The work presents the isolated face of a prisoner, fixed in suspended time. The scattered letters in the background evoke the loss of personal identity, reduced to fragments or numbers. The color choice and bold stroke visually translate pain and alienation, while the subject's direct gaze challenges the viewer, asking for memory and awareness in a gesture of ironic meaning or rebellion.
showing the tongue

The painting thus becomes a symbolic testimony of the condition of those interned in concentration camps: men and women deprived of their name, freedom, and dignity, but not of their humanity and freedom of expression.
