Alice in Wonderland 

Valeria Duca's "Alice in Wonderland" is a contemporary realist painting depicting a young woman dressed as Alice from the classic children's novel. The subject is seated on a striped rug in a domestic setting, with one leg outstretched, and the other tucked beneath her. The painting captures the enigmatic nature of Lewis Carroll's story through the woman's thoughtful expression and the surreal, dreamlike quality of the setting. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the composition. This piece is a testament to Duca's skill as a figurative painter, and her ability to infuse a beloved fictional character with a sense of contemporary reality.
