UNA RESIDENZA TUTTA PER SÉ | A RESIDENCY OF ONE’S OWN
In 2021, Maja Arte Contemporanea hosted its first Residency. Since then, the month-long residency has become an annual appointment.
It takes place in Romazzano, a town 8km from Todi (Perugia, Italy), in May.
In keeping with the Gallery’s aim to take action and concretely support rising female artists, the Residency accepts applications from women exclusively.
The initiative is generously sponsored by art collectors Umberto Morera and Anna Maria Balsano Morera.

Lions of time
Romazzano (Italy). A 13th-century convent which was recently turned into an artist’s residence (2021). A fortress erected to protect the life and work of women for centuries, this space fosters a deep connection with one’s inner signs. Humanity here has been experienced so strongly as to be etched in the stones. Thus my own research evolves, by painting matter that lies somewhere in between stone and memory; lions and lionesses sculpted by time so as to morph into humanity.
