MEET ME
Ciao,
I’m Federica Feliziani, and this is my art studio. I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into my work, and I’m happy to share it with you. I love painting figurative art in acrylic or oil, and I see the world through a beautiful palette of colors. My inspiration comes from nature itself - I love capturing landscapes, flora and fauna. Ocean is the most resourceful, it plays such a crucial role in our lives, we’re just tiny humans on this incredible planet we all share. Humans are also in my paintings, portraits are a must and I like to reproduce the human figure. Take a moment to enjoy my creations, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any thoughts or ideas to share. I’d love to hear from you!
8 OCTOPUSES
Each octopus has its own special personality, and they’ve inspired a truly magical artistic journey.
It took me several hours of hard work to create the Octopus collection and I am finally able to share it as a whole project.
When you find the one that speaks to you, place your bid and let your dreams come true!
“THE MASTER”
The Master, a male octopus, serves as a guiding force through the past, it profoundly inspired the Octopus Collection from its inception. Its influence has instilled in me a determination to endure and thrive, fostering my curiosity about the octopus species and imparting a lesson of knowledge and wisdom.
“LADY OCTO”
The Lady Octopus embodies the harmonious balance of grace and elegance. The subtle pink undertones in its colors have evolved into a delicate, rhythmic dance of its tentacles, unfolding beauty and introducing new tools to my introspective journey. Gratitude enables me to refine my identity as an artist.
“THE KING”
The King, a magnificent golden male octopus. Its royalty aura is both disarming and demanding respect with its spoken tentacles. While its eyes are unforgiving towards casual approaches, it may share its wisdom with those who demonstrate camaraderie. I bowed before its suckers, recognizing the King of the Octopuses.
“THE FIRE”
The Fire, a vibrant and emotionally expressive juvenile female octopus, presents an unequivocal declaration of her existence, it builds excitement but defeats fears. Her intentions are not harmful but she showed me a dynamic force to express potential and trust in myself maintaining my focus on the matter at hand.
“THE JOKER”
The Joker embodies the power of peace, demonstrating how an open mind and an open heart are unbeatable, as well as a genuine smile. Remarkably adaptable octopuses have shown that solitude is the most effective way to recover from conflicts. This insight resonates deeply with the daily struggles we all face.
“THE ALIEN”
The Alien is bringing a fresh perspective to the future. The lunar underwater landscape beckons us to explore and uncover its secrets. It cautiously ventures into uncharted territories and few fishes introduce the promise of a better world. I’ve learned to see the future as a tool to design projects, trusting in the journey to envision my artwork.
“THE QUEEN”
The Queen is stunning, worthy of a mate and full of hopes. Her soft cloak expresses confidence and determination in the darkest corners. Calming resting on the rock, she patiently awaits the one to fertilize her new octopus generation. It’s so revealing how such creatures know best where to start the process. Just watch the magic unfold!
“THE MOTHER”
The Mother octopus is for the continuation of the species. Although she feasts on her partner afterward, the larvae develop and she will die soon after their birth. It’s her life cycle and gave me such an intense appreciation to the octopus‘s existence, highlighting the significance of all natural life on Earth and how grateful to its diversity I am.
