The exhibition as a whole invites visitors to reflect on the power of art as a tool for intercultural connection and as a vehicle for shared creativity..

  • The Grandfather and the Little Grandson

    I resume: A crouched child covers his head with both hands. He opens one eye and looks around, bewildered, at a world lashed by the wind. The grandfather hugs him, wraps him up warmly. He takes his tiny hand and whispers, “don’t worry,” before accompanying him outside on one of the very first walks of his life.

  • The Missing Point

    In the beginning, there was the line. Infinite, unchanging, luminous. It stretched silently from past eternity into the future, with no beginning and no end — like a timeless breath. It was true life, eternal life. Upon this line, suspended beyond the tangible, men and women walked in harmony with the divine order. They moved along the upper part of the line, wrapped in serene light, in an Eden where each step was understanding, presence, peace.

    But the perfection of the line concealed a secret.

    Along its perfect and linear course, a point was missing. A tiny absence, almost imperceptible — a void of infinitesimal size, as a mathematician might say: something that takes up no space, and yet it is there. An opening.

    And so, unaware, men and women, one by one, stumble upon that point. And fall.

    They fall beneath the line.

    They awaken in the earthly life — a world that appears fluid, unstable, ever-changing. Shapes shift, truth blurs, all previous reference points dissolve. Humanity forgets the line, and the light it carried. The memory of the eternal fades into the fog of the material experience.

    In the earthly dimension, humans struggle. They believe this is the only life. They seek security, they build, they hoard — sometimes at the expense of others. They cry out in loss, fight in fear, and withdraw in confusion. Suffering embraces them, and time urges them on.

    Yet not all surrender.

    Some, even immersed in the liquid realm of earthly life, do not fully forget what they no longer know. Some love. Some care. Some help their companions to rise, to walk, to search. Some look upward, without knowing why, and move toward the light.

    And then, one day, the point returns.

    The missing point appears again — but now not as a fall, but as a passage. It is death, yes, but not an end. It is the breach that allows one to rise again. The slender opening connecting the lower world to the higher one. And then, if the human heart has remained open, if the soul still listens, they can ascend.

    They emerge above the line once more.

    And now they are not the same. They remember. They recognize. They are in tune again with the Divine, reconnected to the infinite from which they came. Life resumes its eternal flow — but this time, in fullness. The being is restored in serenity, in wholeness, in truth.

    And the painting falls silent, but it tells all.

  • Time has made them accomplices and stronger

    Among the silent mountains of Grigna, a white writing — LOVE — becomes sculpture and refuge. She, lying lightly on that word, smiles with her head resting on the one she has chosen every day.

    Time has made them accomplices, stronger, more real. In that embrace placed on the landscape, a love is celebrated that does not fade, but is nourished by the seasons lived together, like the wind that caresses the peaks and tells eternal stories.

  • PERSEFONE – InCANTO DI PRIMAVERA

    PERSEPHONE – InCANTO DI PRIMAVERA

    Visual arts exhibition that celebrates the awakening of spring through multiple contemporary artistic languages.
    The exhibition, which will be held at the prestigious Galleria degli Artisti in Via Nirone 1 in Milan, takes inspiration from the mythological figure of Persephone, whose ascent from the underworld marks the beginning of spring in the Greek pantheon. According to the myth, when Persephone returns to earth on the occasion of the spring equinox, her mother Demeter, goddess of agriculture, adorns nature with flowers, buds on the trees, dyeing the meadows green and the sky blue.
    This mythological theme becomes a metaphor for a double awakening: the external one of nature and the internal one of the human being. The selected artists are invited to explore this concept of rebirth and transformation, interpreting through their works the moment in which the renewed energies of spring manifest themselves both in the natural world and in the human soul. As evoked in the verses of Pablo Neruda quoted in the project: “It is that behind things there is you, Spring, who begins to write in the humidity, with the fingers of a playful child, the delirious alphabet of time that returns.” The exhibition is proposed as an opportunity for artists and visitors to undertake a path of reconnection with their own creative essence and with their “heart projects”, drawing on the inner resources that the spring season naturally awakens.

    Event information

    Period: From 21 to 29 March 2025, with inauguration on Friday 21 March at 18:00

    Where: Galleria degli Artisti, Via Nirone 1, Milan

    Then we have sculptures, here the overview is less extensive but representative, we have the art of driftwood, that is, the recovery of wood carried to the shore by sea and river currents, with which the artist creates animals and objects, alongside dynamic statuary marble sculptures, ceramic works and works in aluminum leaf and wooden sculpture-paintings. We close with paper cutting, a modern term that comes from far away, it is in fact a very ancient oriental technique, a new trend in paper recycling.

    Once the artistic presentation is closed, we will see the dynamics and initiatives that Scenari d’Artista offers us, which presents itself as a dynamic and interactive exhibition that becomes, on weekends, a cultural space, which offers meetings and book presentations, particular attention has been paid to the closing day, March 8, Women’s Day, where two meetings are scheduled in addition to performances by the artists present.

  • Small is Better – Venezia 2024

    An accompaniment with the minimum, the fragment, the crumb.
    And don’t think that’s little!
