About this artwork
"I am not a geisha" is an original mixture of hyper-realism and a scent of expressionsim: interplay of shadow and light here evokes a sense of mystery and introspection. The choice to depict a female model reported over a Vogue Cover is due to the idea of depicting some sort of rebellion to contemporary hyperuse of female image, often encaged and framed within an externally imposed jail. A golden prision where Beauty is sanctified and obsessively… chased. Women's identity cannot be manipulated or forced to suit other people's needs. It is a counter-archetypal image.
The juxtaposition of stark realism with expressionistic strokes captures complex emotions and concealed thoughts of the subjetct. The vibrant streaks of turquoise and gold add a dynamic, energetic vibe, symbolizing the inner strength and flamboyance that co-exists with her outward calm. This piece is a celebration of the women spirit's depth, designed to bring a powerful, thought-provoking presence to any space.
Simona Elia, a digital painting pioneer with an Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnology background, masterfully merges realism with technology. Harnessing digital canvases, she crafts hyper-realistic yet fragmented portraits that resonate with controlled chaos—meticulously drawing each detail to evoke the complexity of the human psyche. Her works echo dichotomies, clashing vibrant colors against realistic depictions, symbolizing the fragmented identity in our evolving society. Elia's artwork delves deep, embodying the emotional flux of existence, unearthing love as the universal glue amidst dissonance, speaking to the soul with each vibrant yet often disassembled stroke.
