Fragments of the self (2025)Oil painting
by Paula Berteotti

This work by Paula Berteotti depicts a faceless figure carrying two spheres, which define the force of life and the contained thoughts in a moment of reflection and inner recollection, where the restrained emotions reveal the silent weight of the soul. The curvature of the body reveals the effort to navigate the different moments that life offers, sometimes easy, sometimes not; one must maintain balance to stay on the right path. The red outlines highlight and reinforce the tensions between what is felt and what lies hidden beyond oneself. The dark palette creates an atmosphere of balance and emotional recollection.
