Maria Burberry
The great sweetness and delicacy in the choice of the subject becomes the symbol of an escape from everyday life, and the flight and lightness belong to this happy and carefree freedom. While in “Magic Factor” the artist depicts a woman resting. The large dress, reminiscent of Belle’s in “Beauty and the Beast”, is in stark contrast with the background of the painting, with that fiery red that warms and emphasizes the entire work. Even in this case the theme of magic is vivid: in fact, the young woman seems to be suspended in the air and next to her there is a star, like a sparkle, which symbolizes the presence of the fantastic element. Every shade is skillfully considered in each detail, bringing out both the immensity of the dress and that vortex of color behind the fairy. The sinuous figure, elegance and elusive beauty is typical of a classy woman of the Belle Époque period: turning her gaze towards the spectator, the young woman appears proud and sure of her femininity. Starting from the Japanese literature, through fairy tales and magic, to fashion and art, the artist Maria Burberry manages to create a strong bond with every single aspect, immersing the observer in a fairytale and imaginary world.
