by Romina Ciulli e Carole Dazzi

Les petits plaisirs

The works of French artist Mira Maodus of Serbian-Russian origin are characterized by complex interactions between shapes and colors, overlapping signs and numbers, giving rise to truly visual narratives with dreamlike and vibrant atmospheres. Her research, in fact, focuses on the very essence of the artistic approach, aiming to free the constraints of the sign in a free and universal creative context. Her professional career, which has evolved from figurative to abstract, includes a fifty-year stint at Atelier 11 in Paris where, through various stories and testimonies, she was influenced by the legacy of artists like Amadeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine and Constantin Brancusi. Her works have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions in countries such as Italy, France, Great Britain, the United States, China, Russia, Canada, and more. Let’s talk with the artist.

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

Due fiori blu appesi, 2025

The work of artist Lorenzo Di Lucido originates from a vibrant reflection on the foundations of traditional painting, reimagining landscapes and portraits through a progressive shift towards abstract form, emerging from the surface of the canvas trasnsformed by layers of color. His artworks, often monochrome, manifest a subtle internal tension between the material accumulated brushstroke after brushstroke, and the light that strikes it, to reach the perfect balance, the moment when, according to the artist, something happens.
