"In her paintings, María-Gracia Basso predominantly represents the feminine corporeity. She has an exceptional mastery of drawing and painting of the human figure, a particularly complex subject to tackle from the visual arts perspective. The artist exhibits an excellent ability to portray proportion and bodily movement. By using pictorial resources of colour, based on chromatic shades and greys, her artwork stimulates in the viewer feelings of melancholy and nostalgia. These emotions seem to be heightened over contemplating the posture that the human figure adopts in her works. "
