Cut Print

The painting was is a portrait of a friend of mine, the same that I used to make a previous painting, namely "Shade". I wanted to use the same subject in the same position but change colors, situations and so forth. I did it since I wanted to use the possibilities that I might have by using the same subject. In other words, the concept is that from an image born another image, and then another one, till the "making" becomes a relevant part of the process, and my practice becomes a continue work in progress. Differently from the previous painting, I did not put the person portrayed inside an environment, yet I decided to use colors which may remind a landscape (the top of the painting reminds the color of the sky, the bottom the color of the green and, finally, the skin of the woman reminds the color of the earth). The idea was born since most of people started asked me "why do not you make a landscape?" "why always you paint people?" etc. Therefore, I decided to join some "landscape references" to my portrait. Moreover, after being influenced by artists who use their own body inflected wounds on it, I decided to make a sort of cut in the middle of the face. The "cut", the wounds inflicted are often seen and thought as an opening to the outside, it is a way, in some extend, to put in touch our inner part with the outside.
