Artist's Statement:
Dark images, painted with strength and controlled emotion. These semi-destroyed figures, eaten away from emotional erosion, appear like silhouettes from another era, perhaps imprisoned emotions and the souls of the departed ones. Images that speak with silence, that walk in immobility that penetrate the skin to touch the soul. They are human shadows, ambiguous, momentary, moving in and out of existence. Images painted with precision, erased afterwards, like symbols of human negation, of the impermanence of life and human emotion. And even when the images appear in pairs, as portraits of the same soul, emerge from a dark background; base of a dangerous unknown. But, even though the first appearance of these images depicts darkness, there is a trace of delicate lines, forming precise profiles of figures full of pride and gentleness, expressing a nature of strength and fragility. A nature that accepts and wins life through acceptance.Statement courtesy of Agnese Udinotti
