ombre 3.0 (2026) Original Oil Painting by Isabellangela Germinario

My artistic practice originated and developed through the representation of the human body and its parts, particularly arms and legs.
Over time, the depicted limbs undergo a transformation: they are no longer just arms or just legs, but become hybrid forms—branches, rocks, earth, leaves.
At the same time, trees, branches, rocks, and earth are no longer simply these things, but evoke bodies; there is no longer a clear boundary between one and the other, but rather an ambiguous representation of these forms seeking to reconnect with their origins.

In the “Shadows” series, I collected traces and shadows of plants and flowers and reproduced them by superimposing them on canvas.
The work is created with oil paints and graphite on hemp canvas; the stretcher frame is handcrafted.
