Meet the Artist

Stefania

Capo

“My work confronts internalized sexism and societal beauty standards by reclaiming the female body through playful yet provocative paintings and sculptures. I focus on body hair and breasts—often seen as taboo or imperfect—to challenge conventional ideas of what’s considered “sexy.” Using flesh-toned colours that evoke both sensuality and objectification, my art invites viewers to embrace confidence and authenticity. By merging humour and boldness, I create a space where liberation replaces shame, and where all bodies can feel empowered.”
