In her work Vania Comoretti offers a close examination of her subject in an almost scientific manner, particularly in her attention to details, as though it could have been concluded in a medieval herbarium. In her drawings, created using traditional techniques, she cleverly brings together water-colour, Indian ink and pastel on paper. We could almost call the results vitruoso without, however, wishing to diminish them, and she gets results in the finished pieces that, even to an expert eye, could easily be mistaken for actual photographs.
