"Andate e Ritorni" Painting

Stefania Turco, born in Caltanissetta, is a veterinary surgeon specializing in gynecology and andrology.
Her artistic journey began almost by chance in the fall of 2018, during a period of
absence from work due to personal issues. Seeking a way to cope with her sense of
disorientation, she rediscovered painting as a nocturnal therapy, an intimate space in which to express
strong and contrasting emotions.
Initially painting for herself, she then opened her art to the public with the exhibition "Art that Heals" in
Caltanissetta, a sign of a dialogue that becomes sharing. Her style develops through a
material and three-dimensional mix that incorporates pigments, acrylics, oils, and various materials, creating
canvases that are almost pictorial sculptures. Her subjects, initially inspired by medicine and
biology, are later enriched by a deep connection to her homeland, a reflection of a
rooted and conscious identity.
Drawn to abstract art and action painting, Stefania is guided by a free and
spontaneous creativity, discovering in abstract art a space for limitless expression. Since 2023, she has dedicated herself
passionately to eco-art, creating works with recycled materials and promoting a
sustainable vision, recognized with second prize at the Calatafimi-Segesta Eco Art Festival in
2024; her art is a burning invitation to feel, reflect, and protect our humanity and the planet
we inhabit.
For Stefania, painting is a bridge between science and emotion, a way to describe the world not
only as it is, but as we feel it inside
