"After a large and structured series dedicated to the empty spaces of architecture, to the silent interplay of greys, Debora Fella returns to portraits with a collection of small "tondos"; if large dimensions were the useful ground for an expansion, albeit monochrome, of painting, in this phase everything is retained and controlled by graphite, the paper surface layered in depth, acquires the preciousness of the ancient miniature" (Del Guercio, 2018).
"Gradations of gray represents the consequence of a moment of reflection - explains the artist -. Black and white are the depiction of an analytical but constantly changing moment. Seeing but not grasping what is hidden on paper, the nuances and evanescent contours reveal a process in constant evolution".
