“The elaborate graphics of Federica Berner set themselves, today, like graceful and emotional shadows, like “other” presences in which the design lives an exclamatory corporealness thanks also to the support chosen by the artist, very thin veils, of unusual and restless lightness and transparency. An effect of grand influence and very rare impact descends, allusive from the internal dialog with the story of their creator, which starts up again right in these graphics of unquiestionable physiological pregnancy of meaning. It deals then with an history incarnated right in these forms which are fleeting and nevertheless strong, of many historic characters who Federica Berner is able to depict, always before, without uncertainty, censure, or corrections, fully transported from memory and from creative emotion".
