Self-love, Gouache and pastel serie #1 (2022)Gouache painting by Gisella Stapleton

This series of nudes of women hugging themselves is my way of expressing that feeling of love and care for oneself and for our body. Our body is our greatest support and also a companion for life that reflects what happens in our emotional world, from which we are usually disconnected. Thanks to our body we are here, without a body there is no life, when it doesn't work, nothing around us works, but when it works we are able to reach the moon with our hands.

These paintings are created with gouache and pastel on handmade recycled cotton paper. The single color nudes are inspired by Matisse's blue nudes.
