F. Dorina - Female Portrait

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.

The subject's interpretation is entirely naturalistic, leaving no room for any subjective allusion. The artist strives to render every detail as realistically as possible, as if it were a photographic image. Dorina's masterful technique allows for this perfect naturalism, thanks in particular to her flawless execution of sfumato. Indeed, we can see how the flesh is shaded to create a vagueness and mobility in the figure's contours. Compositionally, the subject displays a romantic interpretation of a popular figure, characterized by a profound plasticity.

The painter F. Dorina displays a high level of academic training, which allows him to achieve a perfect naturalistic rendering. His pictorial language displays a very classical inclination and is based on perfect formal rendering.
