Animali - ponte tra spirito e materia

A new temporary exhibition titled "Animals as a Bridge between Spirit and Matter" arrives at the Museum of Stone and Stone Carvers. Nature as a way to open the gaze, explore one's imagination and reveal different viewpoints of Ylenia Piat, artist and art therapist.

The inauguration will be held on Friday, March 27 at 6:30 PM.

Ylenia's artistic research stems from a deep dialogue with Nature. Nature is seen as a continuous wonder, in its splendid multiplicity of forms and spaces, where every aspect is woven into our existence as human beings. Animals, trees, and matter become traveling companions: living presences through which to explore the relationship between the visible and the invisible. The wolf, a recurring figure in this journey, represents a mirror: a symbolic guide that invites one to go beyond labels and reconnect with elusive parts of oneself.

Alongside the symbolic dimension of animals, the exhibition places the focus on matter: stone, wood, paper, and mark are not just tools but genuine interlocutors in the creative process. Blending art and art therapy, Ylenia's work proposes a space for experience and exploration, where the relationship with nature and materials becomes a path of knowledge and transformation.

 Three creative workshops inspired by Nature are also planned, where animals, stones, and marks become bridges between imagination and emotion. Through shared making, we will explore together the language of images, giving shape and color to stories, relationships, and inner worlds.
