Hermione Palmer

2019. 130cm x 81cm. For sale. Painting: Oil on Canvas, Other. Oil on canvas prepared to stucco. The cracked surface of the stucco is attractive by itself and also avoids the excessive perfection of the brushstroke. I'm not hyperrealistic! "Hermione" arose from the past, a past not very remote in which women did not enjoy their full rights and were simply instruments and entertainment for men. For many women, their birth sex was their worst enemy: we have lost great painters, artists, writers, mathematicians ... Many looked at them and only saw a woman, sometimes disobedient, but only a woman ... Nothing of importance! The portrayed character is inspired by a great person who was a painter and artist and led a life free of chains. In appearance.
