Stefano Petris

I approached art in my teenage years starting with simple drawings on paper inspired by cartoons or comics. With my enrollment in art school, I began to learn the first technical fundamentals of pencil drawing and colors, but right from the start I hated drawing from life, feeling the need to create my own things rather than copy objects. I started painting on canvas with acrylic colors, moving from abstract painting to figurative art, and later to using an airbrush on paper.Mixed media on paper, watercolor, pencils, pen. Around the year 2000, I approached digital drawing using the Wacom Intuos graphics tablet, thus creating digital painting; recently I have returned to traditional oil painting.My art always revolves around the female figure seen as a priestess, witch, queen. It seeks to tell the most intimate and hidden part of the feminine soul. That freedom to express oneself by breaking the chains of a society and religions that want to imprison a power that scares man! A woman who sees herself as a Goddess, magical, mystical, erotic, but also wild, dominant, strong, seductive, like a great feline.
