Latina: “The Breath of the Earth” — solo exhibition by Claudio Sapienza

The Breath of the Earth — solo exhibition by Claudio Sapienza

Claudio Sapienza presents a body of work composed of large and medium-scale paintings, assemblages and installations that incorporate natural materials, notably volcanic ash from Mt. Etna. The exhibition reflects on the relationship between humanity and the Earth, time as geological process, and the traces left by shifting landscapes.

Surfaces on jute, wood and aluminium host pigments and mineral particles that reveal a dialogue between memory and presence. Recurrent motifs such as butterflies coexist with marks evoking ancient terrestrial processes, offering both intimate and collective readings.

About the artist

Born in Catania in 1981, Claudio Sapienza works across painting, assemblage and site-specific projects, drawing inspiration from the volcanic environment of Sicily. After studying Visual Arts at the University of Bologna and completing specialized academic diplomas in Catania and Brescia, Sapienza has shown his work nationally and internationally, including events such as Florence Biennale and Artexpo New York. Recent recognitions include audience awards and selections in contemporary art publications.

This exhibition is suited for visitors interested in material-based practices that interrogate memory, landscape and the passage of geological time.
