Alice Voglino at the Cingoli Foundation for the second stage of the GAeM Prize

Alice Voglino is exhibiting at the Cingoli Foundation in Roseto degli Abruzzi (Teramo – Italy), the second stage of the 7th GAeM International Prize – Young Artists and Mosaic – organised as part of the 9th Ravenna Biennial of Contemporary Mosaic (Italy).

The work on display, a finalist in the ‘unconventional materials and techniques’ category, is entitled Credi in te (Believe in Yourself) and is part of the Fragilità (Fragility) series, through which the artist has explored the fragility of the human condition.

‘Believing in oneself,’ says Alice Voglino, ‘means loving oneself and embracing one’s own fragility, a condition I experience personally in my daily life. It means valuing oneself and maintaining the ability to move forward in life.’

The octagonal-shaped work, reminiscent of a baptismal font – a symbol of rebirth – is an assemblage composed of various antique napkins that have been sewn together, painted with acrylics and embroidered.

‘We are all,’ adds Voglino, ‘like mosaics made up of many different pieces – some intact, others crooked, others acquired over time – held together by the thread of life. At the centre of the piece, I have embroidered the words “Believe in yourself” using coloured embroidery threads, leaving room for the imperfection of my inexperience as part of the creative process.’

“The human body in contemporary art represents a constantly evolving field of inquiry and experimentation, in which artists explore the complexities and contradictions of the human condition. We wish to encourage the artists of Independent Artists to engage with these themes by once again linking Mellone’s discourse to the contemporary art scene and to artists still active in Italy and around the world.” – Independent Artists

I am exhibiting the work ‘Non c’è confine #04, 2023, mixed media on an antique embroidered towel, 160 x 60 cm’

The body is our story, woven from the crystallised threads of our emotional memories. Like an antique fabric, whose weave is part of the daily life of those who have worn it, an extension of their skin that endures over time. In this context, the antique towel becomes a fabric woven from human history, which takes shape through the coloured threads emerging from the fabric to symbolically depict a body breaking free, visible, frayed by the pain of existence, yet finding the strength to live in the very acceptance of that pain. – Alice Voglino

“With this research,” says Alice Voglino, “I have tried to explore the fragility of the human condition, a subject that is very close to my heart. Every day, each of us experiences the fragility of existence as we face a constantly changing world that forces us to adapt constantly, making us different day after day, without, however, making us feel sufficiently capable.”

To create the works, the artist specifically learned how to crochet and embroider, allowing the imperfections of her inexperience to be part of the process, as well as drawing inspiration from traditional women’s work, a combination of tradition, creativity, and knowledge, but also gender exclusion and social and economic marginalization.

Thanks to light, colour has always been the element that allows us to discover the world around us, to move feeling part of it, to perceive its existence and essence, becoming meaningful and symbolic, specific to each people, culture and belief. From the research of two young contemporary artists, Alice Voglino and Anica Kitanoska, each with a personal history, a mix of different life experiences, territories, cultures and training, we can observe the mutual creative process that starts with painting and ends with the use of colour in different techniques and materials, combined with a marked individual confidence with colour itself and its application. These young artists, one through painting, sculpture and assemblages, the other through painting and mosaics, lead us into a shared place made up of emotions, perceptions, experiences and universal existential values that characterise us as humanity, presented through the contemporary eye of the younger generations.

The exhibition is included in the programme of events outside Ravenna for the 9th Biennial of Contemporary Mosaic (18 October 2025 – 18 January 2026) organised by the Comune of Ravenna, Department of Culture and Mosaic, coordinated by MAR – Museum of Art of the City of Ravenna and under the artistic direction of Daniele Torcellini.

Seeing to know what is around us. To make it familiar, to relate it back to what is known, and to feel safe, comforted by seeing that confirms personal beliefs, that fortifies personal beliefs about the world.

But what happens if we change our point of view? If we bring attention to other features and aspects previously unnoticed?

Artist Alice Voglino’s research What You Don’t See About Me leads us into a physical and metaphysical space where color and light take us by the hand and lead us to see the complexity of the reality we encounter, inviting us to sharpen our perceptual capacity to authorize us to consider that there is always something we cannot yet see and that people are always much more than we see.

It invites us to go beyond our personal beliefs and conventions to experience what happens when we change our point of view, leading us to reflect on the meaning of identity and the complexity of reality.

The exhibition What You Don’t See of Me hosted at Villa Paris is a sensory experience in which the viewer is invited to relate to paintings and sculptures, the latter made from the remnants of the painting itself, exposed to different frequencies of light that, like individual identities, offer themselves to the viewer, to be known, in their specific individual diversity.

Identities that, when put in the condition to tell their own stories, allow glimpses of characteristics apparently nonexistent or hidden from a hasty judgment of the observer.

Seeing, then, from being a physiological function that allows us to recognize what surrounds us, becomes an emotional experience lived by our entire being that enters into a physical and metaphysical relationship with what it sees, acquiring it as profound knowledge.

“Every occasion and every encounter,” says Alice Voglino, ”are opportunities to grasp seemingly hidden aspects of us and from us. Seeing requires time and relationship, it requires listening to the other and empathy, it requires commitment and understanding.”

– Cristina Cuttica, art curator
