From October 18 to 26, 2025, I participated in the XV Florence Biennale at the Fortezza da Basso. Under the theme “The Sublime Essence of Light and Darkness,” around 550 artists from all over the world presented their works—each with their own unique approach to the tension between light and darkness.
I showed my work The Seed of Love, which for me is a very personal exploration of the theme of transformation. It is about silent becoming, about the moment when light and darkness are no longer perceived as opposites, but as forces that together bring forth something new.
My artistic language of layering, color, and movement creates a space that is carried by inner peace and lively presence—a place where the essential slowly becomes visible.
In the accompanying video interview, I talk more about what drives me in art—and about the intention behind The Seed of Love: about trusting the process, about allowing uncertainty, and about the creative energy that arises when you let go of control and create space for unfolding.
Fra Angelico Centennial Exhibition
In addition to the intense days at the Biennale, there was also time to discover Florence—a city where art, history, and the present intertwine so vividly. I was particularly impressed by the exhibition of Beato de Angelico (also known as Fra Angelico) at the Palazzo Strozzi, a tranquil experience of color and spirituality. Between meetings with fellow artists, there were inspiring conversations, spontaneous moments, and many new connections. The energy of this week was filled with exchange, curiosity, and mutual appreciation. And again and again, there was the light over Florence—warm, clear, and full of movement.
