Sandra Print

On this portrait there's a paper layer on a canvas and then a number of cut-outs from newspapers and magazines coloring the main structures of the face (nose, lips, eyebrows, eyes and hair). Once defined the colors I go on with forms, lights, shadows and textures by applying acrylic whites and blacks and some color that make deeper the scene. As a matter of facts this is a part of an installation of twelve paintings prepared for an exhibition where they were hanging on a wall very close one to another. Even if they were made to be together, I think they could be sold separately because of the idea that supports all of them. I shortly explain that to you: when I was young my grandmother used to stick to the bedroom mirror the pictures of deceased family members and to light for them a candle once a year. Now I know that that was a domestic altar which has its roots in the dawn of time two thousand years and more. The ancients used to venerate domestic deities. they were not necessarily benevolent, everyone had some flaws and yet everyone would protect the family and the house. Sandra, the girl in this portrait, is a trusting character, a positive force who believes that most people will prove themselves trustworthy. She opens herself up and act with honesty and integrity: unconditionally. She is the ideal person to bring peace and confession into the home
