The female figure is a favourite subject for Paola Falconi, who very often finds inspiration from her daughters. However this is not a portrait. The subject of the work is not the young girl we can see in it nor her beauty. This is a painting about the adolescence, about the teenagers’ thoughts and their relationship with the fast and confusing world outside. The girl in the painting is focused on her thoughts, paying no attention to anything else, like only a teenager can do. As usual, Paola Falconi pays particular attention to the composition and places the human figure very carefully in order to obtain a proper balance with the environment. Whilst the high contrast between the saturated colours for the hair and the lighter ones for the face provides the figure with a natural sense of deepness. La figura femminile è un tema prediletto da Paola Falconi, che molto spesso trova ispirazione nelle sue figlie. Tuttavia non siamo di fronte a un ritratto. Il soggetto del dipinto non è la giovane donna che vi compare, né la sua bellezza. Questa è un’opera sull’adolescenza, sui pensieri di un’adolescente e sulla relazione che intercorrere tra questi e un modo esterno sempre più frenetico e contraddittorio. La ragazza nel dipinto ha un’espressione assorta, quasi assente, concentrata sui propri pensieri come solo un’adolescente sa fare. Come d’abitudine, Paola Falconi pone particolare attenzione alla composizione e colloca molto attentamente la figura umana allo scopo di ottenere un equilibrio perfetto con l’ambiente. Mentre il forte contrasto tra il colore piuttosto saturo dei capelli e i colori più chiari e luminosi del viso conferiscono alla figura una naturale profondità. Curator: Katyuscia Carta

Paola Falconi was born in Cagliari (May 1968). She spent a happy childhood, made of outdoor games, some little friends and long moments reading books of fairy tales. Even today, the suggestion of those fairy tale images are present in her works. At the end of Primary school, Paola Falconi attended a music school and studied piano. Music took a place in her heart that never abandoned; it will be an indispensable companion for every moment of her artistic creation. After three years of music school, she studied at Grammar School, whilst at University she went to Bologna in order to study Law. While in Bologna, Paola Falconi developed a passion for reading artists biographies, including Henri Matisse’s. It was taking shape in her mind the idea that her life path wouldn’t have been to follow her father’s footsteps in the legal profession, but to learn to express her personality through the visual language of drawing and painting. Back to Cagliari, she studied as a private student, under the precise and loving guidance of two artists: Professor Maria Grazia Oppo Falqui and Professor Ines Corona, in order to achieve a Diploma in Art (1989). In 1989 the artist matriculated at Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, where she completed the first two years of study, then moved to Carrara and completed her studies toward the Diploma in Sculpture, cum laude in 1993. After PF went back to her hometown, where she continued her artistic work about the languages of drawing, painting and sculpture. Later the artist’s work, immersed in the contemporary reality, but always with a reference to the inner fantasy world, were exhibited in various Cagliari’s museums and galleries. A Paola Falconi’s sculpture competed in Costantino Nivola Sculpture Award (1995), whilst other works of her were used to enrich different businesses spaces and shops in Cagliari. From 1996 until 2014, the artist didn’t participate in any exhibition, in those years, inspired by the beauty of Sardinia and by his loving family, composed of her husband Mario Mariani and their four children, she continued her studio work and developed her artistic research. The works of PF are now included in many private collections and have been exhibited in 2015 at Le Dame Art Gallery in London and, recently in Florence and Cagliari.
