A calm and peaceful dialogue

  "'Unveiling' is difficult for everyone and it is not accidental that only after abandoning its function as a teacher, free, so to speak, from institutional commitments, has decided to make the big leap.

  Those who want to correctly read the works of Grazia must certainly take into account all these components, which are still present in the way he uses colors and in his way of constructing a painting. In the monochrome use of color there is a certain privacy that becomes delicacy, his paintings hardly attack anyone who looks at them, rather they are an invitation to enter into dialogue with you calmly and calmly. But there is also another aspect that must be emphasized: the framework for Grace is always a project and a project is an act of reflection, a moment in which the thought - the logos - must probe different hypotheses and know how to take due account also that painting is a language with a long history. In fact, observing some paintings that originate from geometric shapes and that could make us think of a reference to the Futurist or Cubist tradition, we understand how everything has been calculated and designed rigorously, but we also understand how the old attempts to "imitate" Cézanne or other painters They made her understand that painting is a complex and particular way of communicating with others through a language that has a linguistic code stratified in time and in the history of culture, a code that can not be easily put aside and fired in the name of a free freedom of exclusively gestural expression.
