« It is indeed the deep and intimate nature that is reflected in the works; terrible and exhilarating. »
French painter Lucile Callegari has shown work throughout France, the United States, and Switzerland. Working with acrylic and charcoal on canvas, Callegari creates portraits of female subjects. She allows her unconscious to guide her as she paints quickly—allowing the portraits to reveal themselves. Callegari describes these haunting and moving works as a reflection of herself and her soul. The portraits are monochrome and fiercely vivid—faces energetically rendered against a white background.
