Galleria Angelina

Active in the visual arts and advertisement, Stefano hails from Livorno; he has been creating art under the “Pesce Fresco” name since 1993.
Starting from wood and random objects he’ll find on beaches after storms, he creates marine-inspired art where dedication and irony, experience, sense, and instinct mix and shine through.

Putting found objects together to create art gives them a new dignity, unchains their hidden beauty; Stefano creates sculptures, lamps, mirrors, theater props and larger art installations from objects others had discarded.

The creative process is a manual one, mixing technical ability with improvisation, and includes a search for new uses or locations for Stefano’s art.

Since 1994 Stefano has worked for the local Health administration in Livorno on multiple occasions, notably on a visual communication workshop aimed at psychiatric patients organized by the Cammello Blu social co-operative.

Shilha Cintelli, 1986, was born and lives in Empoli, near Florence.
A painter, renovator, and visual arts teacher, she graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence.
In 2016 she was awarded the Fiorino d’Argento at the 24th “Premio Firenze” held in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio.

From her training as a painter and art restorer she branched out in 2017 to create her own art. Shilha felt the need to tell of the internal dialogue between extremes, arising from the acknowledgement of our separation from the external world.
She’s constantly researching new expressions, sometimes subtle and intimate, to transform her thoughts into images, to immortalize the natural alternations of the ‘seasons of our emotions’, something which she does while using and experimenting with various materials.
It’s an introspective journey that in turns manifests itself through paintings, drawings, pottery, sculptures and art installations.

Her favourite materials are wool and rope, generally procured from discarded items.
Her work tells stories from the past and encourages the reuse and recycling of used objects and supplies.
Her “Adopt a Buoy” project is notable in how she’s able to transform discarded buoys, which she finds on the beaches of Eastern Puglia, in works of art through the use of crochet.
She gives new life to objects of difficult disposal and serves us a reminder of how much is recyclable.
Her project has been picked up by the comune in Castro, to create the public decor that is displayed in the alleys of the historic part of town.

Pasquale is the last of the “numerari”, local artisans in Naples that used to create the traditional price tags that merchants and restaurateurs used to display in their shops.
His is a craft passed for generations by his family, that he alone still performs in the family bottega in Vico Finale, inside the market of Vicarìa in Naples.
The unique patterns of life in the city’s markets shine in his work, a true hallmark of Neapolitan tradition.
