Ivan Arlaud/The poetic vision of everyday life

thefemalecurators

by Romina Ciulli and Carole Dazzi

La Desserte, 2026

The paintings created by the artist Ivan Arlaud are set in those interiors where moments of everyday life take place, made up of simple details and familiar objects, and are characterized by a palette of vivid colors and contrasting shades, which immerse the viewer in warm and luminous atmospheres. And, although there is no trace of human presence, the images emanate a sense of serenity, telling us evocative stories which have just begun, and all yet to be invented. This is the case in Le maison de vancances (2026), La véranda (2025), Étude Table Composée (2024), L’appartment rue Girardon (2023), Nature Morte aux Citrons (2023), Nice (2022), and Choix de Poems (2022). Let’s talk about it with the artist. Read more →

A space where the viewer is invited to reflect deeply on his own existence and the certainties of everyday life, encouraged to imagine new stories and magical dimensions. Read more →

Roberto Ghezzi/The narrative of nature

by Romina Ciulli and Carole Dazzi

Environmental installation in Iceland

Roberto Ghezzi’s artistic research is based on an abiding interest in the natural landscape and stems from a need to establish a deeper relationship with it, not just a merely representational connection, but above all participatory. In fact, his experiments take place directly within pre-selected natural spaces, and consist of innovative conceptual works, developed through a humanistic-scientific approach. This dual methodological process intertwines the aesthetics of art with the creative dimension of nature itself. This gave rise to his series of creations known as Naturografie, installations which take shape through a direct contact with different landscape contexts, where nature itself takes on the role of creator of the artwork.

Monica Carrera/The gaze becoming narration

by Romina Ciulli e Carole Dazzi

Sette cucchiaini per la fine del mondo (2020)

Monica Carrera’s artistic work is characterized by a minimalist language through which she investigates themes related to humanity, personal experiences, and the environment we live in. A conceptual art, indeed conceptually empathetic, intimate, and collective, achieved through the use of various mediums, but particularly photography. In fact, her photographic images are hybridized with other expressive forms and, transforming into installations or sculptures, they give life to true narrative works. Read more →
