The first approach of Sonia Falsarella to the world of painting is at a mature age and in alternating phases. After attending the workshop of various painters for short periods, with special emphasis to portray faces with charcoal 
technique ("Hannibal and the Pipe" is a prime good example), the artist began her own project of thechnical research and experimentation, drawn from the works of contemporary artists, mainly American and French, at the very beginning experimenting different painting techniques in a manneristic way, and then moving to a more personalized production of highly original works but still with no real stylistic identity. It's in 1994 with the creation of the paintings "Phaedrus" and "Phaedra" that Sonia Falsarella sets for the first time 
the foundations of what would become her personal style to portray human faces: "deconstructing the whole figure and then tracing its outline subsequently stained with overlapping color and color-contrasting."
The most recent works are certainly those that best express the creative "esprit" of the Artist…portraits of friends and aquaintances belonging to Sonia's everyday-living or people met during her travelling. Each character, while maintaining its essence, is portrayted in a mix of brushstrokes and splashes of color contrasting... a very personal way to represent and give body to the protagonists of her works... a very personal way to represent reality and to interpret the times we are living, which gives to each artwork a vibrant effect.
