Maria Cristina Bonvini

I’ve always drawn, but it’s only in recent years that I’ve been able to devote more attention and effort to painting.
While attending a science-focused high school, I also went to art school, but I dropped out due to a lack of motivation and time. My subsequent university studies, which culminated in a degree in Architecture , and my subsequent career absorbed me almost entirely between teaching and freelance work.
But since nonverbal language is my mode of expression, I have never put down my pencil and paints.
The figure—an image of presence—is at the center of my interest and of the expressive language that derives from it.
Form, understood as a testament to being, in which the body becomes a representation of the distinctiveness of an existence.
I believe it is the vital force of living beings that determines their appeal, regardless of whether their appearance conforms to stereotypes of attractiveness.
It is the beauty that emerges from originality and highlights their uniqueness and history, making the physicality of every creature worthy of appreciation.
I believe that, for this reason, every form deserves attention and is interesting as a testament to its belonging to the real world in all its vitality and concreteness.
