Domenico Grenci was born in Ardore (Italy) in 1981. He lives and works in Bologna. Domenico Grenci's painting throws us toward the urgency of an intimist dialogue, exploring the sense of incompleteness of the existential condition in relation to the origin of all things: nature in relation to the human. In recent years, alongside his more established research on the female face, he also focuses on natural elements such as flowers and plants but also on objects and visions that trigger a profound dialogue by giving us back a residual pluralism, shadows or existences that scrutinize that loneliness that emerges every day from a network of immaterial and changing images of the world.

Giovanni Blanco was born in Ragusa in 1980. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. He lives and works in Modica.
Giovanni Blanco's expressive research is based on a poetic imagination conceived for narrative cycles. His works are like open devices in wich the artist organizes thoughts that reveal his multidirectional look.
‘Each of my exhibition projects is always generated by a direct experience with reality, so as to give substance to a thematic canvas. The subjects of the works are concatenated as parts of a poetic imagery conceived in narrative cycles, where each single image is conceived as a fragment of a broader discourse. I experience painting as a means and never as an end. For me, the painting is an open device, a bearer of trespasses, through which I try to organise the thoughts that restore the plurality of my gaze.’

Silvia Celeste Calcagno (Genoa, 1974) lives and works in Albissola (Savona). After studying at the Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa, she began working on ceramic material, experimenting with new technical-expressive possibilities and identifying new ways of intervening on the medium with non-traditional techniques. In 2015, she is the first Italian woman to win the 59th edition of the Faenza Prize.
