Gaia Fugazza reflects in her paintings and performances the connection between human beings and the natural environment, other species’ intelligence, reproduction and transcendental experience. The woman, for example, who often appears as a protagonist in her paintings, represents a »primal« mother as well as a contemporary subject with a multiple division of roles. Formally her works are reminiscent of cave paintings, yet the hybrid characters interact with a natural and technological world. The materials that Fugazza uses for her haptic appealing work, in turn again convey ideas of originality and closeness to nature: they are carved, burned, waxed or painted with self-made mineral paints.
