Research in figurative and realism has always been my prerogative. I always start with people I know, often quite well, to be able to dig deep and go beyond appearances.

The choice therefore falls on those close to you who are part of my world, or who have somehow left their mark. For me, the details of faces, hands and feet are keys to understanding their features and grasping their souls. My painting tries to capture the movement and expressiveness of a gesture, an instant or a pose, to impress a feeling or a message and make it eternal.

Pastel Drawings

An ambitious project that the artist has carried in her heart for years, after a long personal search that led her to understand her priorities and her means of expression: the human figure.
In fact, in Alessandra's works, beloved subjects, hands of loved ones, faces and expressions that have left their mark on her path recur.
But what interests her most is precisely TOUCH, both as a single word and as separate words, always part of the same universe.
This collection aims precisely at a search for intimacy, for "fingers that sink" into the flesh, for a contact between people that has been lost, between lovers, brothers, sisters, friends and memories.
Contact means letting yourself be enveloped, embraced, held, transported.

"Tales"  is a collection of artworks who tell different stories, as if they were images of a novel. Each character has a past and a future, imbued with feelings and emotions told through the eyes and hidden phrases. These works were carried out in several phases. After applying pages of different Italian books, bills and old family photos, in order to create the history I wanted to tell, a few keywords have also been highlighted. Later the painting have been made right over the sheet of paper with oil paint, small part in acrylic and gold leaf.
