Event: Gestural Dialogues Between Past and Present
Dates: 26 Jul 2024 - 31 Jul 2024
My solo show 'Gestural Dialogues Between Past and Present’ was done in collaboration with the Regional Aeolian Archeological Museum “Luigi Bernabò Brea” and the Cultural Association Amaneï. The exhibition explored the inception and gestural expression of the creative thought, highlighting the connection between ancient and contemporary art through abstract works, merging the boundaries between drawing, painting, archeology, calligraphy and music.

Event: Rain at Sea
Dates: 12 Apr 2024 - 20 Apr 2024
Rain at Sea - An Aeolian Tale, was a solo exhibition celebrating my studio opening in Lipari Island, Sicily. This new body of work presents a series of multilayered abstract landscapes featuring imagery evocative of the local natural realities, suggesting growth, transition, and movement. Created with a multitude of mediums, from acrylics to calligraphy inks, oil paint and sticks, these new paintings exponentially expand my investigation of the relationship between gesture and painting.
The dynamic canvases and works on paper evoke associations with nature that at times suggest both sea and land, shifting subtly between representation and abstraction. This collection presents paintings which are extremely physical compositions, reflecting the dynamic range of motion and intensity of focus brought to their making.
