Capelli stellati

Andrea Nanì art main theme is women, their extraordinary expressivity, their unique combination of strength and frailty, their courage in facing hardships, and sometimes even the pain of violence and abuse. The artist’s works are not simple portraits but instead they should be considered almost like allegoric images with a unique theme that is very close to surrealism and magic realism, in which magic elements blend perfectly with the realistic subject of the painting.
The artist’s technique portrays the woman close-up with a photographic focus on the face and bust, because they are the best at representing the subject’s soul through the features of the face and marks of past experiences on the body, in which symbols flourish and new spaces open. Some paintings are rich of multiple symbols like wings too small to fly, body parts that change into intense and delicate flowers which can be crushed in an instant, scars that everyone tries to mend but they still leave a permanent mark, or that sometimes can be healed by symbolically putting together pieces of yourself with gold dust lacquer.
Andrea Nanì talks about women,that sometimes recall classical goddesses or primordial ones,with an empathy and respect towards their spiritual beauty and their inner universe, with a unique language where exteriority and interiority both coexist and influence each other and in which every viewer can identify and recall wounds, hopes and emotions.
