The Dollhouse 2020

"The Dollhouse" (2020) by Valeria Duca, b. 1995, depicts a young woman cradling a miniature house in her arms. The woman's intense gaze and the dollhouse's worn exterior suggest a sense of longing and fragility. The painting's composition creates a sense of intimacy and invites viewers to contemplate the complex relationship between the woman and the object she holds. The subtle use of color and the suggestive details in the background evoke a sense of melancholy and uncertainty, inviting reflection on themes of home, memory, and loss.
