Victoria Stagni Documents a Portrait's Evolution on Disposable Camera for Singulart
In the 'A Day in Your Artful Life' series by Singulart, contemporary artist Victoria Stagni used a disposable camera to document her creative journey and surroundings. Her film captures a light-haired, blue-eyed woman with an owl, illustrating the journey from a rough draft to a lively finished artwork. The photos show the woman's features becoming more defined, soft colors layering on the canvas, and the owl gaining detailed textures. Stagni’s workspace is also featured, with brushes in jars, scattered paint tubes, and a color-mixed palette. The camera catches playful cats around bowls, one resting on a couch, and a sun-drenched terrace with a book and glasses. Bordeaux’s streets are showcased too, with its theater columns, historic sites, peaceful parks, and a pond filled with ducks. The grainy quality and gentle hues of the film add a cozy feel that polished studio shots often miss. This series gives viewers a glimpse into the progression of a painting, not just the end result. You can find Stagni's original works on Singulart.
