Elisabetta Di Maggio's Stamp Mosaic at Christian Stein, Milan
Elisabetta Di Maggio, born in Milan in 1964, presents her first solo exhibition at Galleria Christian Stein in Milan, focusing on themes of time and connection. The centerpiece is a vast mosaic made from 100,000 used postage stamps, evoking a map of personal stories and memories. Additional works on the floor feature geometric and floral microcosms with a medieval fairy-tale quality. Together, they form a colossal creation that mirrors the teeming of human and natural relationships, a labyrinth of scientific or esoteric symbols, and a geography of lines and colors that, like a clock, marks the relentless passage of time.
