Born in Milan, Simona Zecca is a self-taught artist who has always loved drawing and art since childhood and has always continued to cultivate her passion for art even during her studies and in the period in which she worked. in marketing. 

 

She loves studying new and various techniques and over the years she deepened the use of graphite, colored pencils, watercolor, acrylic, airbrush and oil, which is currently his favorite technique. 

 

In 2015 she decided to follow the ever-present call of art to which she began to devote herself full time from 2016, initially customizing mainly helmets and motorcycle parts with airbrush and at the same time expressing herself through his paintings on canvas. 

 

In 2019 she began to exhibit her artworks, immediately receiving an excellent response from the public and critics and obtaining various awards. 

 

Initially hyper-realistic, she is now expressesing herself through a modern realism and prefers female portraits. She has always been particularly focused on the expressiveness of the gaze.

 

The compositional process of Simona Zecca is configured as a truly intriguing experience in the field of portraiture, having some very personal expressive connotations capable of arousing deep emotions suspended between realism and imagination. 

In fact, the painter offers the observer figures cloaked in a seductive charm that emanates both from the harmony of shapes, sought after through a refined and acute drawing, and through precise color choices that refer to an extremely meticulous look at the person depicted. 

Furthermore, her works are distinguished by precise postural choices - and sometimes by gestures - within which a sort of "approach" to the viewer takes place that allows you to appreciate the whole and the detail of paintings marked by expressions that are the reflection of emotions represented with authentic empathy. 

 

In all this, the eyes are truly "the mirror of the soul", as they bring to the fore what the figure transmits immediately, without veils or censorship, thus finding a way to be extremely enjoyable. 

 

A particular attention should be paid to the textured-consistent backgrounds, never deliberately left neutral: far from being a mere "theatrical backdrop", they are co-essential elements of the work: colors, not infrequently written or certain signs concur in a fundamental way to clarify its basic meaning. The gold leaf used for the creation of some details also creates an apparent antithetical contrast between the "rough" part of the backgrounds and the preciousness of this material. On the contrary, these elements find instead a harmonious fusion that is not taken for granted and an unexpected complementarity within the composition. 

 

Therefore, ranging from portraits of famous personalities, also belonging to the world of music and cinema, to works involving ordinary people or even of pure invention, Simona Zecca gives us a modern portraiture with dense and juicy brushstrokes in which it is easy and extremely pleasant to immerse oneself ad libitum.
