Barbara Nahmad (Milan, 1967) is an Italian artist who has always used painting as a strong and courageous language, employing bodies and faces to give form to ideas and feelings. This new series of paintings dedicated to the sea opens up a space where nature is the protagonist and at the same time the scene of a story that is within us.
We chose this exhibition and Barbara Nahmad’s latest paintings because they are extraordinarily in tune with the times we are going through. Times that invite us to stop and listen. As their title, Oltremare (Overseas), suggests, these paintings are not just the image of a physical place, but the image of a mental space. They are those windows that we need to open wide to breathe in the infinite and remind us that there is something beyond. And it is up to us not to give up and to keep looking.
