Novella Parigini - Untitled

The work depicts an enigmatic female face, dominated by a large, wide-open eye that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The other eye, however, remains hidden, evoking a sense of mystery and introspection. The face seems to emerge from a frame of colorful flowers, which blend with the figure's hair until they become an indistinguishable whole: the hair is flowers, and the flowers are hair. The corollas multiply in a vibrant array of colors: blue, red, pink, yellow, and white, contributing to a dreamlike, almost fairytale-like vision of the figure. The facial expression, intensified by that single visible eye, evokes something feline, like a cat's eye observing silently and profoundly.

Novella Parigini's unmistakable style is recognized in her delicate yet expressive lines. Her lines don't strive for realism, but follow a poetic and fantastical direction, capable of evoking rather than describing. Color is used freely, almost instinctively, to convey profound emotions rather than representing objective reality. The face is not defined in detail, but it is striking for its intensity, thanks above all to the large eyes and the vibrant flowers framing them.

The work is by Novella Parigini, an artist known for her distinctive, personal style, characterized by a poetic and feminine vision of the world. Active primarily in the second half of the twentieth century, Parigini successfully combined decorative elegance and visual spirituality, creating ethereal and fantastical figures. Her female subjects, often immersed in floral or symbolic settings, represent a form of idealization of women, yet with marked psychological traits.
