Monsters, myths and fantasy: Arianna Fioratti Loreto’s fantastic bestiary

Friday March 21st, 2025 , Artists and Works

Get ready for a journey into an extraordinary world, populated by legendary creatures, mythological monsters and extinct animals that seem to come back to life before your eyes!
In her new works Arianna Fioratti Loreto takes us to a parallel universe, where imagination mixes with science and mythology to create a modern bestiary.

An ancient treasure map? No.

A forgotten scientific manuscript? Not even. Rather, an exercise in pure fantasy in which every detail is designed to fascinate and amaze.

Robert Rauschenberg, Monogram

Have you ever wondered what happens when an artist is not content to paint on a canvas, but decides to take everyday objects and turn them into works of art? Robert Rauschenberg was the master of this revolution. With his hybrid works, somewhere between painting, sculpture and collage, he shook the foundations of modern art, proving that everything can become art if looked at with the right eyes.

The art of Vittorio Valiante: matter, body and contrasts

Wednesday March 12th, 2025 , Artists and Works, No Category

If there is one artist who knows how to shake the viewer of his works, it is Vittorio Valiante.
His visual language is made of raw material and painted flesh, of urban fragments transformed into metaphors of human existence. His new artistic research focuses on the body as a primary experience, as a bridge between reality and perception.

However, do not expect an idealisation of physicality. Here, the flesh is not a hymn to beauty, but a symbol of fragility, consumption and decay.

The magic of the works of Marco De Sanctis

Friday March 7th, 2025 , Contemporary Art, Artists and Works

Marco De Sanctis Le Piangenti

Marco De Sanctis’ works are not only to be looked at: they are to be experienced, to be expected and, why not, to be interpreted as an alchemical ritual. ‘Le Piangenti’, in fact, is a tribute to the ancient figures of the prefiche, the women who wept at funerals to collectively represent mourning.

De Sanctis’ sculptures and works on paper dialogue with nature in a process that seems to challenge time and the very concept of art.

Jasper Johns: the artist who changed the meaning of images

Jasper Johns, Flag (1954-1955)

Have you ever stopped to look at an American flag and ask yourself what its deeper meaning is?
Jasper Johns has done so, and not only with the flag of the United States of America, but with everyday objects transformed into visual icons charged with new meanings.
His art is never taken for granted, but is an invitation to look beyond, to stop and reflect.
It is precisely this ability to reflect on objects seemingly trivial to explain that has made him one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
