Anna Secchi - The Red Shoes

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

Painter Anna Secchi's style is consistently consistent throughout her work. It is fundamentally based on classical figuration, rooted in the detailed portrayal of the subject and the precise contextualization of its space. However, the element that defines Anna Secchi's artistic practice and makes it unique and original is her exuberant pictorialism. The application of color is constantly moving, dynamic, in a constant search for chromatic and luminous vibrations. Through this pictorial application, even the profoundly realistic image is transfigured into a highly lyrical expression. This artistic approach also permeates the painter's palette, based on bright, luminous hues.

Anna Secchi is a renowned painter who lives and works in Milan. Her artistic output consists primarily of female figures and portraits of women. Her artistic approach begins with traditional figuration and evolves into a highly expressive pictorial style that imbues her work with profound lyricism.
