Flavia Da Rin

The One In The Picture C’est Moi

The pictures that appeared from Flavia da Rin talk about the character. The model is always she, the character, we don’t know. We could say that the arte type that trespasses these works in the psychological portrait. Not the one trying to discover what lies under the traces of an image representing a mere model, but the possible psychology of an image that being trespassed by the use of computer software goes further the limits of conventional psychology.

Comic psychology, of the main character of a cartoon? This character has in all the works, big eyes. In each and every piece seems to be the heroine of possible stories or maybe of her own.

In the image composition, a reminiscence of the Leonard’s Gioconda,; emblematic first case of psychological portrait in the history of western art. Bottom figure well defined and integrated. In the works of Flavia da Rin, the heroines appear in possible locations, but dream ones, realities that the artist work at, in such a way that would seem that her heroines don’t suffer from them but simulate them. Every given image transcends its own limitations. The fiction is launched behind the field, such snapshots taken from a universe of the story/stories. With every work the observer discerns just one instance of a possible situation with a “before” and continuation. In what moment of the story each character is presented?

The artist will gives some clues but the story is to be continued.
