The series ‘The Skin’ is based on the observation and collection of images of the wounded of the First World War, in particular those documenting the destruction and facial injuries to soldiers during the trench warfare.<\/p>\n

But it is not about representing a particular identity, but about addressing a tense and dramatic moment in a general way. It is also an allusion to a historical time that represents the initial period of easy reconstruction, proven techniques and learning.<\/p>\n

At the same time, it is political images, alluding to the violence of everyday life, which leads to the need for selfies, images polished in the search for integration into a social context.<\/p>\n

The paintings of the series ‘The Skin’ are sinister, turning ugliness and violence into an aesthetic factor, the result of the collage of several documentary portrait images. In the series ‘The Skin’ the ideal representation is overcome, giving way to a carnival regime of representation of form, of fusion of parts and territories, where exaggeration, satire and the strange are present.<\/p>\n
