The Italian artist Adria Sartore paints young girls – in the Old Masters’ style. Her focus lies on facial expressions; she captures them intensified by the girls’ body language. Adria Sartore’s faces mirror the soul and mirror our fantasies. Her pictures leave a lot of room for interpretation and are strikingly expressive, consciously resisting current trends in contemporary art.
