(Hello)

Federica paints the people she loves with the patience of the old masters, then lets them wander somewhere stranger: into thread and beads, into carved ink, into neon cities and ruined cathedrals.

(03) A series

Between Oil
and Thread

Oil painting has long been seen as “fine art” and displayed in museums by famous artists, while embroidery and stitching are often thought of as craft or “low art.” By bringing these materials together, I want to challenge these outdated ideas and show how they can work side by side.
