Simona Fedele
New portrait painting from Italy
Simona was born in 1967 in Udine, Italy, where she still lives and works today. Despite the geographical distance from the world's art metropolises, she has managed to present her works worldwide. Twenty years ago, an Italian gallery brought its art to 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 portraying her younger siblings at an early age. Simona never wanted to be an artist and modestly says that even today she wouldn't describe herself as one.
“The face expresses many things that cannot be said. Every expression, every detail speaks about us,” explains the Italian artist Simona Fedele. She mainly portrays women and manages to convey a special mood and sensuality through her works through the expression of honest emotions and a fine sense for the choice of materials.
The answer to the question of her source of inspiration is not easy for Simona. Nevertheless, her answer is clear: love. “When I'm 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 small things, takes me away, involves me, enchants me.”
