Painting Isabella by Romanelli Karine | Painting Figurative Portrait Gluing

Karine Romanelli's work is located at the crossroads of two worlds. Merging the photographic image with the painted image, the artist evokes the real in many of its possible forms of representation and interpretation. In this way, her collages superimpose frames, creating a spatial distortion, which brings her compositions closer to a kind of abstraction. The frames also bring together spaces, connecting urban landscapes, familiar indoor settings and everyday objects in a kind of cross section of reality that reveals, in a single frame, both the interior and exterior of a given scene. This kind of freedom of composition, which comes from the ability to move away from classical painting and the search for perspective securely sets Karine Romanelli's work in an approach that is that of the Avant-Gardes and the artists of Modernity.
