About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Chalk

Drawing made with chalk, a white marine rock that is traditionally white in colour and can sometimes be coloured.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Federica Belloli, a self-taught Italian painter, embarked on a remarkable artistic journey that led her to become a masterful portrait artist. Her passion for art found its formative years in the atelier of the esteemed painter and dear friend, Rodolfo Guzzoni. Under his mentorship, she honed her skills and nurtured her innate talent, establishing a strong foundation for her artistic endeavors.

Federica Belloli's art is a profound exploration of portraiture - an art form that captures the essence of a moment, an emotion, or a memory frozen in time. Her portraits serve as windows into the human soul, painting vivid emotional landscapes with a masterful hand. Through her work, she skillfully conveys a range of emotions, including melancholy, loneliness, hope, and the inherent fragility of human nature.

Her preferred medium is acrylic, a choice influenced by its matte finish and rapid drying times. This technical preference grants her the freedom to create with immediacy, allowing her to translate her artistic visions onto the canvas without the constraint of lengthy drying periods.

Federica Belloli's artistic journey has transcended borders, as her compelling works have been showcased in exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Her talent has garnered recognition and acclaim, leading her paintings to find their homes in private collections across Europe, America, Australia, and Asia. Her art's universal appeal and ability to resonate with viewers from diverse backgrounds have contributed to its widespread recognition.

In acknowledgment of her artistic excellence, Federica Belloli received the prestigious Medal of Artistic Merit at the Salòn Internacional ESART in Barcelona in both 2019 and 2020.
