Contemporary artist based in Milan
Petra is a contemporary artist whose work is driven by an intimate exploration of emotions, form, and inner states.
Solitude shaped by silent inner forces
The faceless figures behind her act as a quiet stand-in for society itself. They are always there watching, judging, and expecting yet they remain indistinct and anonymous. The red hand reaching down toward her can be read as both authority and interference: a force from the outside that influences how she is perceived and, perhaps, how she feels compelled to present herself.
The duality of presence and absence, the ways in which shadows and light intertwine to shape identity. The central figure sits in stillness, yet around them flows a chorus of elongated bodies, part human, part spectral. They lean in, reach out, surround, and echo the figure’s existence, suggesting that we are never solitary but always in conversation with unseen parts of ourselves.

Sono terra, sono linfa,
Sono il vento che sussurra nei rami,
mi allungo verso il cielo,
ma affondo i piedi nel nero fertile dei giorni.
Il tempo mi plasma, mi sfoglia,
ogni ramo un sogno,
ogni foglia una speranza
che si stacca e danza nel vento.
Non sono solo carne,
sono corteccia e respiro,
Sono il battito lento della foresta
che custodisce segreti nel suo silenzio.
