About this artwork
Work created on a vintage sheet, it has ribbons that can be attached to a pole.
The right to spread one's wings represents the Syrian swimming champion Yusra Mardini with an incredible personal story. The image immediately brings to mind the recent sporting performances at the Tokyo Olympics. The gaze upwards ready to take flight and the arms that transform into wings in the water. Between water and air, swimming and flying and in the background… Hokusai's wave which represents the sea crossed by the protagonist to escape the civil war in her country and the boat, the one on which she crossed the sea saving herself and her sister by swimming nine people. The calligraphic writing at the top left refers us to Japanese pictorial works, in particular to kakemono, vertical format paintings made to be rolled up, and confirms Stefania Ormas' passion for painting from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Stefania Ormas is an award-winning artist based in Italy whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Spain and Belgium. Her figurative works, which oscilate between realism and pop art, are representations of women, in all their facets. Some of Ormas' pieces are a denunciation of contemporary society. Whereas her florals, or depicions of cacti, are an attempt to reconcile herself with her homeland.
