Liquid Canvas Painting®: The official presentation
Here we are. There are only a few days left until the official presentation of Liquid Canvas Painting®, featuring the exhibition of 4a Performance, and the excitement is building.
I’m especially happy to have been able to choose such a special location. Art Shopping Paris is an important contemporary art fair, but for me, it also represents something more: it is just a short distance from an iconic landmark whose architecture resonates deeply with the ideas behind my project.
“From Above to Earth,” a solo exhibition and dinner events at Corte Massimago
From late October to late November, in the enchanting spaces of Corte Massimago, I was invited to personally present my works during four dinner events, at which Chef Ervin of MassimagoInCucina—drawing inspiration from my works—will serve menus designed to complement this experience. A meeting of art and cuisine, then, but above all an opportunity to come together, talk about art, and share with you the journey I’ve already taken and works that point toward a new direction.

Liquid Canvas Painting®: the project
Liquid Canvas Painting® is an extremely rich and multifaceted project. It is a project in which I have set out to conduct a carefully considered and well-researched exploration of the profound connection between light, water and space. It is a project that marks the beginning of a completely new phase in my artistic journey.
Liquid Canvas Painting®: the beginning
A project that had been put off for a long time, partly for technical reasons; the encouragement of a truly special person whom I’ve only recently got to know; and the enthusiasm for embarking on a new and unprecedented artistic experience. Let me tell you about the beginnings of Liquid Canvas Painting®
Fiberglass, Art, and Pop-Rock Colors
When looking at an artist’s career, it often happens that the past conceals signs of the future. Lately, my work has focused almost exclusively on the surface of the canvas, exploring space through the modulation of colors and transparencies. Yet there is a “plastic” dimension that has always been part of my creative DNA and that today is once again making its presence felt.

Paolo Mariani’s presentation event at the Chamber of Deputies on July 7, 2026, also caught the attention of *L’Arena*. An article by Luca Mantovani titled “Paolo Mariani and Aeropittura (Aeropainting) — ‘The Landscape Seen from Above’” opens the Culture & Entertainment section of the July 31 issue.
Stefano Filippi: Remarks
On the occasion of the presentation at the Camera Dei deputati (Italian Chamber of Deputies ) of the event “Manifesto dell’Aeropittura futurista: Towards the Centenary – The Works of Paolo Mariani”, Stefano Filippi offered a personal and deeply engaging introduction to Paolo Mariani’s work and creative approach.
Presentation of Paolo Mariani’s Works at the Chamber of Deputies
On July 7, I had the great pleasure of seeing my work presented at the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies. The event was part of the celebrations marking the centennial of Aeropittura futurista (Futurist Aeropainting)—an original initiative aimed not at confining this extraordinary period in Italian art to memory, but at exploring what its legacy might be today in contemporary artistic practice.
A brief review of Paolo Limoli
When I visit exhibitions and meet artists, I often come across interesting and well-crafted works. More rarely, however, do I encounter pieces that truly surprise me with their originality and the almost obsessive attention to detail with which they are conceived and executed.
That was my impression upon viewing the work of Paolo Limoli, the featured artist in the exhibition “Stratus – A Journey into the Soul of Matter”
“The Elegance of Art”, Villa Breda Museum
From May 8 to 10, the Villa Breda Museum in Ponte di Brenta (Padua) will serve as the charming setting for the cultural event “The Elegance of Art.”
As usual, Artemente Gallery is presenting a multifaceted event, in which an exhibition of works by contemporary artists will be complemented by book presentations and other cultural events.
