There is a moment in the creative process when matter stops being material. It begins to feel like something else —
something that cannot be explained, but can be perceived.
This is where my work begins. Not as an image, but as a presence.
In Metamorphosis of Matter, fragments, textures, and reclaimed materials are not used to construct an image. They are allowed to transform.
Each layer carries memory.
Each material holds a story.
What emerges is not imposed — it reveals itself.
In a time where images are often created to be consumed quickly, my work moves in the opposite direction entirely. It does not seek to impress at first glance, but to remain.
To create a space where something can be felt, before it is understood.
The exhibition Metamorphosis of Matter, opening on April 25 at Bollina Winery, is an extension of this process.
At Bollina Winery, this process takes a particular form.
The encounter between art and wine is not conceptual, but concrete.
Wine is itself a transformation of matter — grape, fermentation, time.
A process that unfolds slowly, almost invisibly.
In my work, something similar happens.
Materials are not fixed.
They change, layer after layer, until something begins to emerge.
The exhibition moves through this shared condition.
Not as a statement,
but as something that can be experienced.
The artists participating in the exhibition explore transformation in different ways:
• Mariano Peruzzo
Transforms wood and found objects into sculptural forms, giving new life to matter.
• Ilaria Berenice
Works with textiles and reclaimed materials, creating paintings where matter itself becomes language.
• Paolo Amoretti
Combines photography and painting, transforming the photographic image through intervention.
• Paolo Eisenheim
Explores perception, inviting the viewer to question what is seen and how it is seen.
During the evening, the artistic journey will be accompanied by a tasting of Bollina wines, creating a sensory dialogue between art, matter, and transformation.
This is not simply an exhibition with a tasting.
It is an experience where different languages converge — art, wine, and time —
revealing a shared process: transformation.
Some works are simply seen. Others remain.
If something stays, you will recognize it.
