✨ On December 20th, I had the honor of participating in the prestigious International Artist of Europe Award, an event held at the iconic Palazzo Emilio Pucci in the heart of Florence. Organized by PitturiAmo, this gathering brought together artists from across Europe and notable figures from the art world, including curator Stefania Pieralice, art critic Daniele Radini Tedeschi, and journalist Francesca Frediani. The atmosphere, filled with history and creativity, made this evening a truly unique and inspiring experience.

I am proud to have presented my artwork ‘Dignity’, which was part of this celebration of contemporary art. This piece, from my collection “Female Portraits: Looking Back to the Past,” represents the inner strength and resilience of women throughout history. Participating in such a meaningful event allowed me to share my artistic message in a context that deeply values cultural expression and creative diversity.

One of the most impactful moments was listening to the speeches by art historian Anna Soricaro and PitturiAmo founder Nino Argentati. They both highlighted the passion and talent that define the participants, emphasizing the importance of events like this in fostering dialogue and advancing contemporary art. Their words reminded me that every piece of art contributes to the rich cultural mosaic of Europe.

The International Artist of Europe Award was not only an opportunity to showcase my work but also to connect with other talented artists and enrich my creative perspective. The Palazzo Emilio Pucci, with its history and charm, provided an unparalleled setting for this encounter. Walking through its majestic halls, where art and tradition intertwine, was an experience that will remain etched in my memory.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to PitturiAmo for the flawless organization of this event and for their commitment to promoting contemporary art. Moments like these strengthen my passion for artistic creation and my dedication to spreading messages that transcend borders and generations.
