Iris Drawing

Welcome to my artistic world! I am an artist who believes in the gradual and steady growth of my craft. The urge to create compels me to reach for brushes and pencils, meticulously selecting and blending colors. I am constantly inspired and guided by an intangible force, almost in symbiosis with the very air I breathe while painting. Figurative art captivates me, and I find immense pleasure in interpreting it. While realism often influences my work, I am not bound by its limitations. My imagination takes flight, leading me to explore realms where fantasy and creativity intertwine. Through the portrayal of human figures, predominantly female, I delve into existential themes, weaving in symbols like butterflies, children, and flowers. My art aims to unravel the profound, yet often suppressed, foundations of the human soul - the essence of Love. Join me on this artistic journey as we explore the depths of emotions and the beauty of self-expression. The artist Maria Romano's introspective studies are intense, aimed at describing the essence of the human soul through an intense, essential pictorial gesture, aimed at describing the ripples of the human ego. The multiple studies recounted by the artist are interesting; she combines female figures with surreal, metaphysical scenarios, full of a symbolism that borders on introspective value. The artist's technique alternates between oil and pastel, thus showing his ability in pictorial versatility. Historical Art Criticism: Elisabetta La Rosa
