Nadia Ferrante
“After Jenny” Pastel on cotton toned paper 4 × 6 inches
Nadia Ferrante is an Italian artist who has shown her artistic streak since childhood. During her adolescence she attended a drawing and painting course but over the years she mainly deepened her knowledge of the main techniques she uses, soft pastels, oil colors and graphite, by herself. Over the years she has had to put this passion aside, but it has come back with her. In her paintings and drawings, she builds an emotional and psychological dialogue with a spectator. The artist creates unfinished stories immersing herself in her own inner world and involving the one who is looking at it. She introduces to the viewer her own concept of beauty and emotionality, drama and sensuality.
Biography.
Nadia Ferrante is an Italian artist, born and raised near Rome, she has developed a strong sense of beauty and has shown her artistic vein since childhood. Passionate about art, her favorite artists are the great Italian masters, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Raphael but over the years she discovers Klimt, Degas, and the Pre-Raphaelites with whom she falls madly in love. During his adolescence he attended a course of drawing and painting but his course of study is rather classical and distant from art. In the following years he had to put aside this passion for a long time, for family matters, and after a bad period, and a serious bereavement a few years ago, he began to think about what was most important in his life, the passion for art was rekindled and creativity became a necessity. Over time she deepens her knowledge of the main techniques she uses, soft pastels, oil paints and graphite, alone, and she is mainly passionate about portrait and figurative representation. She works a lot on private commissions, but the long period of lockdown due to the pandemic has given her the push to try to test herself with competitions and exhibitions. He expresses himself mainly with dry crayons, pastel pencils and in the technique of the three colors, since he feels that with this he manages to better match his intentions with the result of the finished work.
In the last year it has had recognition in exhibitions at local level but above all it has been included in the special Modportrait 2021 catalog and in the Leonardo 2021 guide.
