Giulia Quaresima

Giulia Quaresima is an Italian artist who lives and works in Cambridge, UK.
Her artistic activity focuses on figurative subjects, particularly portraits and nudes.
The women's universe is the main theme of her painting season: the relentless passage of time, the laceration of abandonment, the fascinating moment of conception are the subjects on which she reflects. She uses painting to analyse our fears and hopes, and her works do not hide behind intellectual games. The artist believes that her works can show her love for tradition and her respect for the craft, because, in her opinion, modernity should be find through the old rule of art. She is very faithful to the "poetic of realism" with which she carries on her own idea of reality. In her latest series, the artists reflects on the power of gesture and body language, and she tries to express feelings and emotions painting and drawings hands.
