Elena Nardi - Gisella

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.

In this work, artist Elena Nardi demonstrates her skill in achieving a perfect naturalistic rendering with a highly elaborate technique. The drawing is extremely precise, capturing every detail of the physiognomy and anatomy, providing a highly detailed account of Gisella's figure. The pose is free and natural, and the subject is depicted with a concrete clarity that fits within the neutral space of the sheet. Using a soft touch, the artist highlights the volumes, highlighting them sculpturally. Finally, with a lively hatching of long lines, she creates a complex interplay of shading.

Artist Elena Nardi is renowned for her lithographs inspired by female figures. Her work is highly classical, inspired by a fully naturalistic rendering, which she enlivens with the dynamism of her touch. Her works are portraits distinguished by their formal perfection and the freshness of their representation.
