Between Dream and Reality: Enrica Maravalle Solo Exhibition in Nizza

Between Dream and Reality: Enrica Maravalle at Nizza Monferrato

Opening: Saturday 18 April 2026, 17:00. The exhibition runs until 10 May 2026.

Venue: Palloncino Rosso, art shop & gallery — via Trento 61, Nizza Monferrato (Italy).

The exhibition titled "Between Dream and Reality" presents recent works by Enrica Maravalle, whose painting constructs a space where dream elements intertwine with everyday motifs. Her canvases propose symbolic readings: the dream functions as a tool to reinterpret and transform lived experience.

• Main themes: symbolic visions, inner transformation, the figure and object as narrative signs.
• Materials and techniques: oil on canvas combined with experiments in resin to achieve transparency and spatial depth.
• Recurring motifs: painted mannequins, enigmatic figures and compositions balancing the natural and the fantastical.

Highlighted works suggest intimate yet universal stories: scenes where animals and toys inhabit imaginative worlds, human figures suspended on spheres or enclosed in fragile containers, and compositions evoking the passage of time. The painted mannequins—an identifying element of Maravalle's practice—underscore the tension between presence and artifice.

This exhibition also marks a technical development: the incorporation of resin with color enriches the pictorial surface with glossy layers and intensified chromatic vibration.
