Micaela describes the living and real image of people, the profiles interpreting the possible inner situations of the individuals themselves through the images she has elaborated. In the artist’s intention, the metal plates oxidised with acids and salt and sculpted are intended to give an idea of the possible spiritual state deposited in each of us as a result of the events of daily life, and in particular the latest events that people have had to endure as a result of the recent pandemic. The individual consolidates the main acquisitions that each of us experiences in life, each work is a symbol enclosed in the profile which is the image we know least about ourselves, yet which represents us unequivocally. A face in profile is a strong, essential, recognisable sign and is the only one that can be drawn with one continuous stroke. These works mean that, despite the enormous differences that separate one from the other, there is a common root for these lives. micaelalegnaioli.com
