Anonymous artist Jacq launches 'Personale' project on art professions

Jacq, an anonymous Italian artist active since 2016 with the 'Volti di Jacq' series, launched 'Personale' on Instagram on July 8, 2025. The project consists of video interviews and oil portraits of art professionals, exploring their roles and personal stories. The first interviewee is Letizia Bocci, cultural project manager and social media curator at Museo Galileo in Florence. Other participants include Serena Tabacchi, Cristiano De Silva, Caterina Gori, and Santa Nastro. Jacq remains anonymous to separate personal life from art and to avoid judgment. Self-taught with a marketing background, Jacq had a first solo exhibition at the Ex Chiesa di San Giovanni in Prato, attended by about 300 people. Works have been shown at Paratissima in Turin and Bologna, ECCO in Cadiz, Spain, and Sottoscalo studio in Milan. Collaborations include Teatro Metastasio and IPER-collettivo, with a site-specific installation at Beste in Prato later exhibited at Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Jacq's Instagram following exceeds 10,000. The artist seeks funding to evolve 'Personale' into a TV or documentary format.
