Marina Perez Simão's 'Prima del paesaggio' at Palazzo Marchetti, Malfa

At Palazzo Marchetti in Malfa, Salina, Italy, the exhibition titled 'Prima del paesaggio. Marina Perez Simão e la nascita del visibile' is being curated by Mirta d'Argenzio. This showcase highlights the Brazilian artist's engagement with the island, where her paintings delve into experiential themes. Perez Simão's artwork investigates the fluidity of form, incorporating elements of relief, atmosphere, and volcanic materials. Drawing inspiration from thinkers like Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Henri Maldiney, she portrays line as an active force. Her watercolors from Salina depict the interplay of water, pigment, and surface. Additionally, she resonates with artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Etel Adnan, Emma Kunz, and Brice Marden. Featured is 'Untitled' (2026), measuring 50 x 50 cm, provided by the artist and Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo, Brussels, Paris, New York.
