It’s a dream come true to have your work displayed in a gallery, and a huge step forward in your journey as an artist. I am beyond thrilled to announce that in 2022 I was invited to have my first virtual art exhibition with MADS Art Gallery. Two others followed with the same gallery. I’m pretty humble in my nature so announcing things like this doesn’t come easy. This is why it’s taken me so long to share the news with all of you. But it is an important accomplishment for any artist and should be talked about. So here it goes!

The Innovative MADS Art Gallery

MADS (Art Mediator, Advisor, Dealer, Seeker) Art Gallery is a trailblazer in the art world, being the first multimedia gallery with a permanent and innovative digital setup. It’s also the first fully inclusive gallery, able to exhibit any kind of artwork. The physical locations in Milan and Fuerteventura are equipped with screens, video projectors, and touch screen monitors that enable viewers to zoom in and examine artworks in great detail. The gallery also features a VR Oculus virtual reality viewer device to display 3D photos and videos. By revolutionizing the presentation process, MADS has eliminated costs, reduced time and bureaucracy, and ensured the protection and preservation of original artworks.

A Virtual Art Exhibition in "Yellow"

“Yellow,” which ran from April, 28th – May, 4th 2022 in Milan, Italy, symbolizes freedom and creativity, pushing artists to break free from societal norms. Art is a form of free expression and contemporary society needs to break free from monotony. Yellow represents the courage to live life as a protagonist, making decisions and following one’s passions. It is an act of rebellion and breaking out of the box to create something new.

On Screen With "Orizzonti Trasversali"

“Orizzonti Trasversali” (Transverse Horizons), ran from July, 28th – August, 3rd 2022 in Milan, Italy. The goal is to inspire artists to examine different aspects of reality by constantly changing perspectives and embracing new horizons. Objects in nature have multiple dimensions, meanings, and truths, and change shape based on the observer’s perspective. The exhibition shifts focus from the object to the observing subject and its perspective.

The "Brain Cake" Art Exhibition

“Brain Cake” was held on December, 28th 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. Making a cake requires ingredients and attention to detail. Baking a cake can be compared to creating art, as both require a desire to escape, transgress, and experiment. A good artist knows the history of art, but true originality comes from letting go of preconceived ideas and embracing new inspiration. The “Brain Cake” event encourages artists to find their unique ingredients and let their creativity flow freely.

The virtual art gallery provided a unique opportunity for me to reach a wider audience and connect with art lovers from all over the world. This is particularly exciting for me as a relatively unknown artist, as it provided an opportunity to be discovered by a larger audience and potentially build a wider following. I am truly honoured to have had the opportunity to showcase my work with MADS Art Gallery. The virtual format of the exhibition enabled me to bring my art to life in a new and innovative way.

Gratitude for Meaningful Moments

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the MADS Art Gallery team, in particular my curator Martina Viesti, for the support and for providing me with this amazing opportunity. All of the beautiful video footage and images in this post were provided by MADS Art Gallery as well. I invite all art enthusiasts to visit my artist profile on the MADS Art Gallery website.

In conclusion, having been part of virtual art gallery showings with MADS Art Gallery is a dream come true, and I am beyond honoured to be a part of this incredible art experience. The virtual format provides a unique and exciting opportunity to reach a wider audience, and I am confident that this is a step forward in a long and successful journey for me as an artist.
