HUG Painting

I work with the image examining its shape and its relation with the surrounding space. I study its consistency and its trace. I select the object and develop the work basing on my aesthetic code influenced by the contemporary art, the renaissance and the baroque painting, the design and the graphic art. In my works I utilize mixed media as painting on canvas or paper, drawings, collage, engravings, etchings, photography and digital art. I photograph my work, my research and my materials, I set up imaginary rooms containing experimental studies. My research has dual aspects, aesthetic and conceptual, focusing on the relations between visual art and the explorations of social context such as the gender studies and the social discrimination. My recent works origins from my passion for the female writers of the Twentieth Century and the Greek Mythology, highlighting the feminist culture and the social differences, particularly referring to the condition of women in art and in the western society.
