Carmela Roccella - Woman with a Peacock

The work can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the representation of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, has no significant elements. This type of domestic subject matter was long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art from the seventeenth century onwards. It was only with the development of nineteenth-century realist movements that everyday subjects were considered to be of the same importance as historical or religious ones. It was the Impressionists in particular who favored subjects related to modern life in urban and bourgeois settings.

The style of the artist Carmela Roccella draws on a naive conception of artistic creation, characterized by a simplification of the subjects represented that is at once conscious and instinctive, with the aim of restoring primary values of purity and simplicity to the representation. However, the artist's simplification of reality also incorporates several creative elements, most notably in the complexity of the drawing and the exploration of color. Carmela Roccella's typical pictorial approach has a structural quality that enhances the volumes and existential complexity of the subjects, even when they are animals. The color is also excessive, at times unnatural, but always selected in a way that is consistent with the overall composition and attuned to sparkling tones.

The painter Carmela Roccella has always displayed a distinctly naive approach in her style. Her desire to seek simplification in representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing the work of art with primordial values of purity and innocence.
