-"As an artist working primarily with graphite and mixed techniques on paper, my creations delve into the depths of the human, undertaking a psychosomatic investigation that uncovers a myriad of stressors, vices, tensions, and impulses. Through a meticulous combination of black and white, utilizing pencils, inks, pigments, and inserts, my works evoke the aesthetic of old photographs, with an ancestral quality that renders them iconic relics without a defined historical period. In my artistic research, I represent the human body not just as a physical portrait, but as a home where emotions, memories, and experiences reside. Within my artwork, themes of sibling relationships and familiar dynamics emerge, reflecting the complexities of shared histories and genetic connections. The portrayal of gender dysmorphia in many of my drawings challenges societal norms and confronts the viewer with the fluidity of identity and the constraints of the gender binary. In my drawings, structures and ideologies integrated within family patterns are explored, highlighting the struggle for autonomy and self-expression within societal expectations. Stereotypes and judgments placed on physical appearances are deconstructed, revealing the inherent beauty and uniqueness of every individual. My artworks serve as a reflection, inviting viewers to ponder their own identities and trajectories. Through themes of joy, shame, sadness, and trauma, viewers are confronted with a sort of "mirror effect" that transports them to the crucible of their own formative experiences. Viewers are often challenged to confront their demons and embrace the inherent complexity of their human experience. Upon closer examination of my drawings, one discovers glittery, golden, or colorful details emerging. These elements convey a positive message, sourced from a higher dimension. By excavating the depths of the human psyche, I aim to catalyze a journey toward self-awareness and spiritual evolution – the essential keys to reshaping our destinies and attracting a brighter tomorrow."- Giuditta R
