Biography
Serena Fazio has been active as an artist since the 1970s, having trained in Verona, Venice and Milan, where she attended the Accademia di Brera and was a pupil of the Maestro Giorgio Orefice. From her earliest days in Milan she distinguished herself with the cycle "Donne senza volto", featuring archetypal and universal figures characterised by soft lines and muted colours, through which she explores femininity, life and resilience.
Over time her painting has evolved towards a strong material research, incorporating natural and symbolic elements such as sand, cork, paper, fabric and, more recently, knotted and torn nylon stockings, a metaphor for the violence suffered by women and by the environment. Since 1980 she has lived in Sardinia, where she has also worked as a teacher and founded the performance group "Pintaderas".
The circle, a symbol of unity, cyclicality and cosmic harmony, is a constant element of her work, which reflects a profound connection between motherhood, the Mother Goddess and Nature. Despite the difficulties linked to her motor disability, Serena Fazio continues to transform art into a space of resistance, reflection and universal testimony.
