Red Ball (2022) Original Mixed-media Painting by Cristina Ricatti

Practicing with the sketches on the whole figure, I have had lately the opportunity to study the body of many different women and men.
I am passionate about the human body and all of its many forms of beauty.

And reflecting on how the same body can take different forms and change over time, I chose two models of different constitution to observe their diversity in symbiosis: two different people unite in a single expression of beauty.

The red ball might represent the energy and passion that Is in everyone of us. But I’m aware that emotions associate with colors in a subjective way, so probably you will see in it something different and personal.

Watercolor, acrylic and oil on canvas.
