Dipingo fiori per non farli morire

Proposed by the Associazione Metamorfosi and curated by Carlo Lucidi, the exhibition hosted at the Sala Santa Rita celebrates the 70th anniversary of the death of Frida Kahlo, an icon of the past and a creative force that continues to be a source of inspiration for artists of the new generations.

More than 80 women artists from all over the world recount, through contemporary jewellery, the enduring and universal influence of an artist who embodied resilience, beauty and female identity. The over 300 works on display explore the link between creativity and the feminine universe through unique pieces made from materials ranging from gold to recycled metals, from ceramics to textiles.

This exhibition is not only a tribute to the legendary Mexican artist, but also an opportunity to reflect on the impact of female creativity in contemporary art, and on the challenges and achievements of women. Jewellery, which has always been a symbol of personality and identity, becomes the medium through which these artists dialogue with Kahlo's themes: pain, hope, the double, identity.
