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.

There are works of art that are unforgettable, not because they are the most famous or spectacular, but because they manage to say everything in a gesture, a glance, a small but significant scene from everyday life. Caravaggio’s “La Buona Ventura” is one such work, and I would like to take you with me to […]
Giotto and the stories of St. Francis in Assisi

Automatic writing: when art begins with a sentence without thinking
Have you ever tried writing without stopping, without thinking, without rereading? Just paper, pen, and an uninterrupted flow that flows from your fingers as if it came from a mysterious place? Welcome to the magical (and slightly crazy) world of automatic writing, one of the most fascinating practices born out of surrealism. Today, we find […]

Giacomo Balla and the dynamism of a dog on a leash: when art runs fast
If you have ever taken a photo while moving and ended up with a blurred trail, you may have unwittingly captured the essence of an entire artistic revolution. It was precisely there, in that simple, everyday gesture, that Giacomo Balla found the inspiration for one of the most striking paintings of Futurism: “Dynamism of a […]
In Martalar’s works: wood, land art, and memories of the mountains – ARTIST STUDIES
Some interviews start off on the wrong foot, like a mountain trail. The meeting with Martalar—aka Marco Martello—was like that, but it was precisely that initial sense of bewilderment that allowed our Laura Cappellazzo to find the right questions. Martalar’s monumental wooden works, from the Vaia Dragon to the Lagorai Wolf, are not just sculptures, […]
