SIMONA FEDELE

Simona was born in 1967, in Udine, Italy, where she still lives and works. Despite the geographical distance from the art capitals of the world, she has managed to present her works all over the world. Twenty years ago, an Italian gallery made sure that her art reached America. Today she exhibits worldwide and is especially popular in the European art market. The self-taught artist did not attend an art school. She has been painting since childhood, and began portraying her younger siblings at an early age. Simona never wanted to be an artist and modestly says that even today she would not call herself one. “The face expresses many things that cannot be said. Every expression, every detail speaks about us,” explains Italian artist Simona Fedele. She mainly portrays women and manages to convey a special mood and sensuality through her works by expressing honest emotions and a fine feeling for the choice of her materials. “The self-taught artist knows how to capture sensuality, beauty, and selfirony on canvas,” says the owner of “eine art galerie” where Simona has been exhibiting since 2017. In her works, she combines reality and fiction through the photorealistic representation of women. Colors as well as materials overlap. Parts of the canvas were torn and reconstructed. Although a lot happens in the paintings and there is a lot to discover, they radiate harmony. They raise the question – who these portrayed women are? “I think even ordinary women are extraordinary,” Simona explains, quickly clarifying the image of women regarding her art.
