NUNZIO FISICHELLA
Nunzio Fisichella is an artist who blends the rigor of scientific study with a visceral exploration of materials. After twenty years devoted to engineering and the family business, a profound crisis marked a turning point in his life: his departure from the corporate routine led to a regenerative solitude, experienced against the backdrops of Nepal and during extreme treks on Mount Etna and Stromboli.
These wild spaces awaken in him an urgent need to give voice to the soul, combining technical precision with the power of color. His canvases, which over time expand to cover entire walls, become mirrors of a vibrant restlessness that transforms into matter. In his works, the deep darkness is never gloomy, for it is pierced by a light that radiates through the darkness, connecting the sky to the tactility of the sea.
Between the reds of dawn and total sunsets, Fisichella’s color palette burns with volcanic energy. Fragments of memory and suffering emerge through scratches, bursts, and textural overlays, seeking a definitive balance. The viewer is invited to follow the artist on an extreme journey, sensing in his brushstrokes the weight of pain and the scent of hope.

GALLERIA FERRERO
The Ferrero Gallery was established in 2011 in the historic Villa Nesi building in Ivrea (Turin). Its founders are Chiara and Massimo Ferrero, collectors and enthusiasts of modern and contemporary art. Under the artistic guidance of Ermanno Tedeschi in its early years and Angelo Crespi through 2023, as well as curation by various art critics and experts, the direction of Chiara Vercella Ferrero has developed over the years an artistic focus toward conceptual abstraction. The Ferrero Gallery’s goal is to organize three annual exhibitions in its own exhibition spaces and two in external venues made available by public institutions or private individuals. The Gallery is also committed to promoting young, selected artists with rising careers.
