Paolo Annibali - Woman Combing Her Hair

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical era, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the female figure is an expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

In this sculpture, Paolo Annibali demonstrates his skill as a sculptor in achieving a fully naturalistic rendering of the subject. The physiognomic precision that places this sculpture in a realistic context is combined with the intensity of expression. Reality, therefore, is conveyed in all its aspects without any idealization, even with particular attention to detail in the accessories and clothing. All this is possible thanks to Paolo Annibali's extraordinary sculptural technique.

Paolo Annibali is an artist from San Benedetto del Tronto, where he was born in 1958 and where he lives and works.
