To Elisa Zadi, painting is the indispensable experience

to hear the precise state of mind with which to face the canvas, every day different, called exist. Expression of an acute desire to delve deeper analysis, who knows the intricacies of his psyche, the gesture of painting makes it strong, being like a prayer, a ritual to be performed every day, in silence, to make peace with his own identity. Paint is way taller than wonder about the world, it means inevitably arise in front of herself, implacably, moved by the deep need to look out for understanding each other inside, to find out what he wants, what he wants, what he thinks, what secret is hiding in that confession that soon will be painting. Marco Palamidessi

I imagined Zita in simplicity: I wanted to dress up in a linen frock. The dress becomes significant, because sewing with m. ure a small body; takes shape, it is true, detaches from the bidimensionality, meets the Viewer as an invitation to be worn, putting him in front of a reflection on their own identity. Using the same linen fabric of the dress, I painted the face and legs of Zita. These are both represented three times, taken at different times, so to point to different emotions. n a face we see the expression that Zita is aware and watching us, fixed and hieratic; Another is Misty, lowered, because trickle toward their own interiority, and in the third she looks at us from the side like to point to what's next, out by itself, otherness. The flowers that I chose are the field, to symbolize his spontaneous nature.
