Contour Memory

*Contour Memory* – This original mixed media artwork by Dario Moschetta is a contemporary female portrait that explores identity, memory, and emotional presence. Painted with soft, diffused brushstrokes and overlaid with abstract shapes and digital transfers, the piece captures a fleeting moment of contemplation and inner life.

The woman’s profile is rendered in gentle earthy tones, contrasted by bold geometric interventions. The composition plays with texture and light, evoking the sensation of a memory coming into focus or fading away. The use of orange and grey strokes adds a sense of energy and disconnection, while the softness of the skin and gaze preserves the intimate nature of the scene.

The title *Contour Memory* suggests both the shape of a figure and the emotional traces it leaves behind. This piece is part of Dario Moschetta’s ongoing research on hybrid techniques and emotional abstraction in portraiture.
