Michela Ghisetti, Right of the Red Line, 2016
, Acrylic and crayon on wood, 170 x 120 cm

Michela Ghisetti’s oeuvre resembles the stages in her own life. Each group of works, whether abstract or representational, reflects her own biography and emotions, while at the same time casting a glance at art history and philosophical topics. With crayons as a medium, she expresses her inner dialogue in a way that shows her intensive analysis, particularly in her large-format works and highly detailed portraits – an analysis that takes her to her physical and mental limits where they are then resolved. The works in her series Magic Threads were influenced by her trip to Morocco in 2015, where she became aware of the structures of carpets with their numerous richly colourful threads and fringes. Using crayons on a wooden surface, she then took meticulous care to weave those threads and fringes into a resplendent network of lines.
