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.
