Paintings

The monumentalism of the body is here narrated by Christina Lappa. Bodies that, with their postures, dance on the canvas. Bodies that emerge from the darkness of the psyche and go in search of that light that will save humanity. Lappa’s painting is a type of painting very attentive to the themes expressed. A painting that has the same evocative power of Michelangelo’s universal judgment. A painting able to fascinate the distracted eyes of the spectator. Her figures go to occupy the canvas with great linguistic harmony. They are figures projected in silent settings and come out with great force. The merit of Christina Lappa is to present to us a totally new type of figuration, no longer focused primarily on color, but on the refined posture of the portrayed characters. The background is always of strong color—a choice made by the Artist, to give greater strength to the figures represented.
