Opuntia Sp Painting

Born and raised in Florence, then moved to Viareggio, by the sea. I have been working in the fashion industry as a designer since I was in my twenties, and two years ago I began to carve out a space for painting as I was younger. The underlying theme of all my paintings, from a portrait, to a flower, to an abstract figure, is the aura of elegant and melancholy femininity that I have persistently fixed on my mind and that I try to portray in different subjects. At the same time I try to give the reader, with shapes, colors and harmonic proportions, a strong universal emotional impact. I use mixed acrylic colors sometimes with crayons to mark significant traits.
