ORIZZONTE ROSSO (2025)Acrylic painting by Giusy Lauriola

This work depicts a female figure emerging in an essential and symbolic form.
The dark body anchors the figure to the ground, while the red hair expands above her like an inner landscape. It represents her dreams, desires, and emotional impulses—elements that rise beyond the limits of the body and take on an autonomous presence.

The contrast between the black dress and the luminous red hair reflects the dual nature of human experience: containment and expansion, reality and imagination. The hair is not merely a physical attribute but a space of projection, where thoughts, aspirations, and unspoken emotions unfold.

Using acrylic, enamel, and resin, the artist allows the material to flow and solidify simultaneously, capturing a suspended moment in which inner life becomes visible. The figure does not seek to be defined by narrative, but to suggest a state of being—quiet, intense, and deeply human.
