Framework “Guerriera” Contemporary Artwork

The geometric and polygonal material painting depicting a young warrior girl fighting for her rights and everyday problems. The work “Guerriera” is the example and source of inspiration for women, and others, of today and tomorrow.

The “Guerriera” is an archetypal female character of strong and courageous character, exceptional and independent without losing her essential femininity. The symbolism is of very ancient origin. Women Warriors have always existed, in East and West, from Amazons to Valkyries. They have spanned the centuries, from the French heroine Jeanne d’Arc to samurai women to those who daily fight for their rights.

The Work is created by selecting pieces of wood arranged in a precise manner until the desired image is created. The end result is amazing and unique. The use of salvaged materials such as pieces of wood underscores a deep ecological sensibility that makes the artwork even more special.

Wood has always been used in art, as a support for painting and for decorations and inlays, but especially in statuary. In the early decades of the twentieth century, this material became something different, becoming the raw material for works unique to the Avant-gardes. Futurists, Dadaists and Cubists used boards or fragments of wood, especially recycled wood, to make their compositions. During the twentieth century, experimentation continued with the American Minimalists and in Europe with Arte Povera, think of Pistoletto and Kounellis. Over the years more and more artists have used recycled wood, breathing new life into discarded or discarded wood. In recent years, the use of waste material in the making of artwork has taken on new meanings, addressing the issues of innovation and sustainability.

That’s the magic of Art: you don’t need precious materials to create an emotion.
