Portrait painting
Simona Fedele
Simona Fedele was born in 1967 in Udine, Italy, where she still lives and works today. Despite the geographical distance from the world's art capitals, she has managed to present her works worldwide. Twenty years ago, an Italian gallery ensured that her art reached America. Today, she exhibits worldwide and is particularly popular on the European art market. The self-taught artist did not attend art school. She has been painting since she was a child and began to paint portraits of her younger siblings at an early age. Simona never wanted to be an artist and modestly says that she would not describe herself as one today either.
"The face expresses many things that cannot be said. Every expression, every detail speaks about us," explains Italian artist Simona Fedele. She mainly portrays women and manages to convey a special mood and sensuality through her works by expressing honest emotions and a fine sense for the choice of materials.
When asked about her source of inspiration, it is not easy for Simona to answer. Nevertheless, her answer is clear: love. "When I am alone in my studio, I think a lot, I write a lot, I read a lot before I draw. And I love everything intensely. My sons, nature, my work. I love and suffer for many things: everything, even the little things, takes me away, involves me, enchants me."
