2. The artistic creation is a huge compromise be-
tween the contingent experience and the heri-
tage of the great Master of the past. It is in that
exact point that we can place the work of the
young Stefany Fisher.
This rapid sketch is clearly related with the
most academic drawing tradition, but at the
same time with a more contemporary ap-
proach of showing the artist’s feelings and rest-
lessness.
More focused on the instant communication
with the viewer (visible in the eloquent gaze of
the young lady) the sketch puts aside any
investigation of the right technique and the
correct visage proportion, in order to make
the main outcome of the artist stand out: the
representation of what is hidden behind our
daily and sometimes frustrating life. In fact the
woman sketched, like probably Stefany Fisher
herself, wants to create a “bridge” with the
spectator to be understood from him, but has
she been able to do that? Has she been able to
raise an emphatic contact with the viewer?
Each of us will surely give a different answer.
We know Stefany feels very close to her Italian
roots: that is evident not only looking at the
Leonardo da Vinci’s influences of that draw-
ing, but also looking at more later ones, direct-
ly from the Nineteenth century.
