Carmela Roccella - Peacock and Cat

Animal depictions in art have ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era.

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.
