Sensibilitá di donna

Sensibilitá di donna, the first painting of the series “Uomo e Donna” by Maria Makki, depicts a woman embracing a man, who in turn, is resting his head on her shoulder. The painting style can be described as semi-abstract and was inspired by the works of Picasso. While the subjects are easily recognizable, some creativity is required to make out the different fruit-inspired shapes making up the man and woman's body. The artist's use of vivid colors applied in multiple layers creates an empowering visual effect which is sure to catch the attention of anyone who loves colorful art. The expressive brush-strokes which compose the subjects and background not only transmit an explosion of color but also create movement in the painting which brings the subjects to life.
The frenzy of rapid brush-strokes and the somewhat chaotic company of vividly colored shapes constituting the subjects are masterfully balanced by the serene atmosphere created by the collection of airy leaves in the foreground and the underlying turquoise color composing the background. The expressions on the faces of the man and woman also contribute greatly to the painting's calming effect. The woman's face, in particular, is one revealing wisdom, peacefulness, patience, and compassion.
