Artist - Maremi Andreozzi
Statement
Through my study of women’s stories, I paint portraits of historical women who have been forgotten, misunderstood or omitted from history. I create portraits of past women to raise awareness for their contributions and to give them a contemporary presence. Each portrait is accompanied by a short biography.
The subjects of my paintings are depicted with featureless faces. The omission of facial details allows for an imagined and subjective interpretation. She is simultaneously the every woman and anonymous woman. She is ageless and timeless. Her featureless form alludes to silhouette art’s power to democratize portraiture. Her dark shape represents the unrecognized figure, a shadow in our American narrative.
Portraiture inspires and connects us to people and stories. My recent portraits depict lesser known women and narratives. These narratives were considered mundane and commonplace. Collectively, this endeavor reveals a multifaceted chronicle of industrious, motivated, and talented women. As social justice, my work affirms respect, value and purpose for everyday narratives. My work highlights that women’s history is personal and vital.
