Barbara Bonfilio is an Italian painter. She lives and works in a small village in the Pollino National Park. Her poetics investigates the relationship between man and the surrounding environment, those spaces that surround, envelop and reflect our body, in the physical and spiritual dimension with which our existence is constantly forced to confront. His painting is characterized by a speed and determination of execution, the method is flexible and varied and accepts the unexpected and the error as its founding values. She uses quick and decisive gestural signs on acrylic-based images, creating unique figures and portraits in an expressive dreamlike world. She is very fascinated by the flesh, the skin, the skin with its alterations as a mirror of the soul. In her work the fragmentation of body and skin occurs through the backgrounds and brushstrokes, which break up and dissect the body and the skin.
