Pregnancy - Gravidanza by Carlotta Di Stefano

Switzerland

Switzerland

This work is inspired by the amorous union between two people that, when strong enough, may result in the fusion of souls and bodies, giving rise to a pregnancy and therefore to a new life.
The work was done with pencil, acrylic paint and markers on paper.
L’opera è ispirata all’unione amorosa tra due persone che, quando diventa tanto forte, può essere fusione di anime e corpi e anche dare origine a una gravidanza, quindi a una nuova vita.
L’opera è stata realizzata con matita, pittura acrilica e pennarelli su carta.

About Carlotta Di Stefano

I live and work in Switzerland, where I was born in 1988.
Since childhood, drawing and painting have been primary needs in my life. I consider myself self-taught and I love traditional graphic and painting techniques, but I recently discovered the power of some programs for digital illustration like Adobe Illustrator.
My artworks are the result of handmade and digital elaborations.
Colors, and in particular the contrasts between them, are the distinctive feature of my work.

I take inspiration from subjects that touch me deeply and from my daily life. I like to transmit a message through my illustrations, but sometimes the result is far from what gave me the creative impulse, as I like to let my imagination run wild, favoring the aesthetic value of the work over the conceptual one.
My artworks have been displayed in several solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland and in Italy.
Vivo e lavoro in Svizzera, dove sono nata nel 1988.
Sin dall’infanzia disegno e pittura sono bisogni primari nella mia vita. Mi considero autodidatta e amo le tecniche grafiche e pittoriche tradizionali, ma recentemente ho scoperto il potere di alcuni programmi per l’illustrazione digitale come Adobe Illustrator.
Le mie opere sono il risultato di elaborazioni manuali e digitali. I colori, ed in particolare i contrasti tra di essi, sono il tratto distintivo del mio lavoro.

Prendo ispirazione da soggetti che mi toccano profondamente e dalla mia vita quotidiana. Mi piace trasmettere un messaggio attraverso le mie illustrazioni, ma a volte il risultato si distacca da ciò che mi ha dato l'impulso creativo, in quanto amo lasciar correre la mia immaginazione, privilegiando il valore estetico del lavoro rispetto a quello concettuale.
Le mie opere sono state esposte in diverse mostre personali e collettive in Svizzera e in Italia.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
