In addition to the environmental dimension, her work explores female identity. In the large oil paintings, monumental and ethereal female figures emerge from blurred backgrounds, inhabiting a suspended and metaphysical dimension. Their bodies connect through glances, contacts and silent dialogues, embodying a primordial femininity. The painted flowers, often out of scale, dominate the observer with a veiled and poetic presence, recalling the sweetness and grace of the bodies.

The material approach is not a simple technical expedient, but a vehicle of meaning. Alongside the canvas, the artist prefers humble materials such as cardboard and wrapping paper, whose neutral color and rough structure give the works an expressive vibration. Each fragment of matter preserves the traces of its own experience, transforming itself into a testimony of the human ability to syncopate the ephemeral into beauty. Inserting herself in a tradition that goes from Claude Monet’s Water Lilies to the research of Giuseppe Penone, Cacciapaglia reworks these influences with a contemporary gaze, capable of interpreting the crises of our time.

Through the synthesis of painting techniques and recycled materials, Sofia Cacciapaglia redefines the boundary between art, nature and tenderness, demonstrating how beauty can arise from the ephemeral and transform into a universal narrative. Her art is not limited to aesthetic representation, but invites the viewer to confront their deepest emotions, offering a space for silent and mysterious contemplation. In an era marked by uncertainty, her work is configured as an act of poetic resistance, capable of rediscovering the sense of wonder in the ordinary.
