Gulistan. The Garden of Time — solo exhibition at Palazzo Medici Riccardi

From April 25 to May 20, 2026, the Carriage Gallery at Palazzo Medici Riccardi hosts Gulistan. The Garden of Time, a selection of 45 works that explore the garden as a symbolic setting for memory, contemplation and the passage of time.

About the exhibition

The artist presents a contemplative route: paintings and works on paper feature blurred figures, wide areas of white and calligraphic gestures. The visual language combines elements of Eastern painting traditions with European modern influences, creating evocative inner landscapes.

Technique and iconography

  • Technique: thinned oil paints with watercolor-like effects; layered work on paper.
  • Gesture: calligraphic lines, contrasts of positive and negative space, suspended color fields.
  • Iconography: dream-like figures and evocative titles such as “Meditation”, “We are leaves of the same tree”, “A legend about time”.
  • Cultural convergence: a blend of Chinese sensibility and European pictorial language, forming a bridge between East and West.

Context and installation

Palazzo Medici Riccardi’s historic architecture sets up a dialogue with the works: the galleries and the Medici garden frame a comparison between Renaissance order and the interior topography proposed by the artist.
