Italian artist and architect Manuela Guidarini joins our collection with three works. With a mix between muted tones, quiet forms, and carefully layered surfaces, her paintings evoke clarity, calmness, and a gentle spatial sensitivity. In Manuelas Ombre, dark and bright colors meet in graphic forms to create a soft finish.

“The texture in my work is very fine, smooth, and uniform. I build it through multiple layers, applied gently and with precision, until the surface reaches a consistent and deliberate finish. Humidity levels, the type of pigment I use, and the way I roll the paint onto the canvas are all essential in achieving this quality. Small variations in these elements can change the surface completely, so working with them becomes a focused and almost meditative part of the process."
