Inner Autonomy
Figurative art rooted in drawing
The portraits depict women of intense, self-contained presence: figures expressing a quiet strength and a deep self-awareness. The calm, detached gaze suggests an inner autonomy built over time, balanced between determination and vulnerability. The subjects embody different stages of a woman's life, from youth to maturity, to the suspended, almost sacred dimension of waiting.
Figurative representation merges with graphic rigour, producing compositions of clear, structured forms in which the line defines volume precisely. The colour, intense yet controlled, is not merely descriptive but emotional and symbolic: it makes the inner state of the figures visible and strengthens their presence.
Alongside the portraits, still lifes and landscapes widen the visual narrative. Far from being decorative, they take on a metaphorical value: objects, removed from their everyday function, become signs and emotional codes that converse with the portrait, outlining inner spaces and the invisible boundaries of personal autonomy.
The portraits depict strong, self-possessed female figures with an intense and autonomous presence, as in the work The Woman with the Coloured Beret.
The still lifes develop from a symbolic language in which objects acquire an evocative value beyond their representational function.
