CONTEMPORARY VENICE 2025 – 17TH EDITION
24.10 – 07.11.2025
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, Venice
Семнадцатая выставка современного искусства в Венеции.
Палаццо Альбрицци-Капелло — один из самых известных дворцов эпохи Возрождения в Венеции. Это историческое здание, построенное в XVI веке, принадлежало нескольким знатным венецианским семьям, о чём свидетельствуют расписанные фресками потолки, художественная лепнина и изысканная мебель, украшающая его залы. Дворец встречает посетителей прекрасным частным садом на первом этаже, а затем собирает гостей в просторных салонах на втором этаже, где переплетаются прошлое и настоящее. Отреставрированные фрески старых мастеров и шедевры современного искусства, периодически экспонируемые на проводимых здесь выставках, делают Палаццо Альбрицци-Капелло идеальным местом для баланса между старым и новым, между старинной средой и современным искусством, архитектурой и дизайном. Сегодня зданием управляет ACIT Venice — Итало-немецкая культурная ассоциация, которая считается одной из важнейших межкультурных ассоциаций в Европе. Благодаря непрерывной культурной деятельности ACIT, Палаццо Альбрицци-Капелло в настоящее время активно сотрудничает с Гёте-Институтом и другими местными и международными организациями, поддерживая свою давнюю репутацию.

17a edizione di VENEZIA CONTEMPORANEA 2025
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello è uno dei palazzi rinascimentali più noti di Venezia. Si tratta di un edificio storico risalente al XVI secolo, appartenuto nel corso dei secoli a diverse famiglie nobili veneziane, come testimoniano i soffitti affrescati, gli stucchi artistici e i pregiati arredi che ne arricchiscono le sale. Il Palazzo accoglie i visitatori con il suo splendido giardino privato al piano terra, per poi accoglierli negli ampi saloni del primo piano, in cui passato e presente dialogano. Gli affreschi restaurati di grandi maestri e i capolavori d'arte contemporanea esposti periodicamente nelle mostre ospitate, rendono Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello il luogo ideale per un equilibrio tra antico e moderno, tra ambienti antichi e arte, architettura e design contemporanei.
Oggi il palazzo è gestito dall'ACIT Venezia – l'Associazione Culturale Italo-Tedesca – considerata una delle più importanti associazioni interculturali d'Europa. Grazie all'incessante attività culturale dell'ACIT, Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello vanta oggi frequenti collaborazioni con il Goethe Institute e con altre istituzioni locali e internazionali, mantenendo intatta la sua antica reputazione.

For me, nature is not merely a landscape or a backdrop. It is a quiet sermon, full of a secret magic that I strive to hear and translate into the language of color. My works are doors to those other dimensions where the universe whispers its most intimate mysteries.
I am fascinated by weaving together the sublime and the earthly: ancient symbols of the world's religions meet with mundane scenes and light irony in my canvases, giving birth to visual parables. My artistic style was formed at the crossroads of inspiration I drew from Bosch and Böcklin, and the profound spiritual experience I gained in Church school. And I invite you to become not just a viewer, but a participant, to unravel this wonderful puzzle of existence together.
My art has traveled the world, and it is a great honor for me to have exhibited at such venues as the Louvre in Paris, the Florence Biennale, the Kremlin Palace in Moscow, and the New Tretyakov Gallery. I have initiated and realized art projects in diverse corners of the globe—from India and China to France, Italy, Egypt, and Bahrain.
Of particular value to me is the fact that my work has resonated within international political and diplomatic circles and is held in the private collections of individuals such as Sheikh Mubarak A Al Suwaiket, Prince Regent Karan Singh, the Ambassador of the Netherlands, Joanneke Balfoort, and the former President of Yemen, Ali Nasir Muhammad Al-Husani.
