The Art of painting the soul
“If she were matter, she would be water.
If she were fabric, she would surely be silk.
If she were music, she would be Vivaldi’s Gloria.”
After the portraits of Laura Aprile, we are pleased to introduce a new artist, Federica Oddone, the painter known as Feofeo, on our blog.
She lives in Asti, in the province of Piedmont, and her work raises us up, expressing the true vibrations of the soul with colored shadows and tonal differences.
Federica was born in Alessandria, a small city also in Piedmont, near Milan and Turin. Ethereal, sophisticated and ladylike, she has always cultivated a passion for art guided and inspired by her strong family ties.
The name Feofeo is a pun (play on words) (feo in Spanish means ugly).
Fehu is also the first Celtic rune: “you will grow in virtue and beauty” and corresponds to the beginning of everything, marks the beginning of the new cycles and it is through it that the eternal return takes place.
Starting out as an artist, it wasn’t long before Federica abandoned figurative painting in order to express her deeper inner impressions. She does so with a simple gradation of color, sometimes with sweetness sometimes with the force of a hurricane.
