Shapes, colours and visions in the works of Alice Lotti – ARTIST’S STUDIOS

Some interviews are special from the outset. The interview with Alice Lotti is a dialogue that spans form, colour, the city and vision. It is the voice of a designer, illustrator and street artist who has managed to combine thought and mark, aesthetics and commitment, public projects and personal research. She described her studio surrounded […]

Contemporary art: exhibitions not to be missed in DECEMBER 2025

Here we are: December has arrived with its somewhat timid light and endless to-do list, but I’m here to share the contemporary art exhibitions selected, as every month, by Alice Traforti. In this post, you’ll find only exhibitions that will make you want to linger a few minutes longer in front of a work, perhaps […]

Drawing as an art form: tracing the invisible, listening to silence

Drawing is the first gesture. It is what a child does as soon as they pick up a pencil, what an artist does to give shape to an idea, what each of us has done at least once without even thinking about it. However, drawing is not just a tool for designing or “sketching”; it […]

Studi d’artista today opens up a special conversation with Jago, an artist who needs no introduction, but who has agreed to really listen. What you are about to read is not just a dialogue, but a real encounter with a man and an […]

Steve McCurry: il fotografo che ha dato un volto al mondo

If, like me, you have ever had the feeling that a photograph could speak to you — without words, but with all the power of humanity — then you have already encountered Steve McCurry. You may not know it, but you have known him forever. You know his eyes. In fact, you know the most […]

Mario Stefano and art that resists the digital image – ARTIST’S STUDIOS

In an age where everything moves quickly — images, scrolls, digital content — artist Mario Stefano chooses slowness. His paintings are not shown in their entirety on social media, nor are they captured on a screen: they are experienced live, breathed in up close. In this new interview for Studi d’artista, Mario Stefano tells us […]

In the works of Mauro Patta: murals, identity and Sardinian memory – ARTIST STUDIES

After our journey through the wooden works of Martalar in the mountains of northern Italy (read the interview here), we return to the south to meet another artist deeply connected to his land: Mauro Patta. We are in Sardinia, the most authentic Sardinia, far from the postcards and close to the truth. Mauro welcomes us […]

Giotto and the stories of St. Francis in Assisi

There are works of art that strike you with their beauty and others that take your breath away because you know you are looking at something that changed the world. The Stories of St. Francis frescoed by Giotto in the Upper Basilica of Assisi are both. I will never forget the first time I looked […]
