Lettera Amorosa

From Monteverde, Lettera Amorosa:
“If my languishing glances 
My gasping sighs, 
My unfinished words 
Have not been able so far 
To bring you the complete proof of my passions…Read these words, 
Believe this letter, 
This letter in which my heart is distilled in the form of ink.”

Expressions of Love unfold in Lettera Amorosa, an evocative exhibition that invites artists to explore passion, longing, beauty, and loss through the intimate format of the fan fold book. Drawing inspiration from the poetic words of the Italian composer, Claudio Monteverde (1567-1643), this collection transforms zigzagged pages into a canvas for creativity, where a story of love emerges from the joys and tribulations of the human experience. From painting and photography to mixed media and sculpture, the exhibition is a visual love letter—an exploration of how love shapes us, moves us, and sustains our lives. Lettera Amorosa is more than an exhibition; it is an intimate exchange between artist and audience, where ink, image, and emotion blur the lines between art and poetry, longing and fulfillment.
