With a clear-cut painting, without hyper-realistic structuralism, Barbara Pietrasanta plays out a constant game of displacements, situations and meanings, of exchanges of roles between the Artist who paints and the subject represented, in which only painting is in a position of strength.

In her pictorial research the artist brings into play all the main themes linked to a profound sense of life, of the relationship between men and women and in particular of the perplexing question of individual identity.
