Carmela Roccella - Woman with a Peacock

The work can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The Impressionists, in particular, favored subjects related to modern life in urban, bourgeois settings.

Artist Carmela Roccella's style draws on a naïve conception of artistic creation, characterized by a conscious and instinctive simplification of the subjects depicted, aiming to restore the primary values ​​of purity and simplicity. The artist's simplification of reality, however, embodies several elements of creativity, evident in the complexity of the design and, above all, in her exploration of color. Carmela Roccella's characteristic pictorial approach has a structural character that emphasizes the volumes and existential complexity of her subjects, even when they are animals. Color is also excessive, at times anti-naturalistic, but always selected in a manner consistent with the overall economy of the work and in vibrant hues.

Painter Carmela Roccella has always displayed a distinctly naive style. Her desire to simplify representation is evident, with the aim of expressively connoting her artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
