This presentation brings together works by two Italian artists, Leonardo Meoni and Daniele Milvio, whose practices explore a diverse range of subject matter, image-making techniques, and material approaches. Milvio draws inspiration from objects of daily life and nature, translating his observations into traditional bronze sculptures. In contrast, Meoni engages with themes of antiquity, mythology, memory, and impermanence working with velvet as his primary medium. By manipulating the fibers of the fabric, he creates dynamic and evocative images. 

Leonardo Meoni, born in 1994 in Florence, Italy, is an artist who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and Brera. His work blurs the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and drawing, emphasizing the hybridization of artistic practices and concepts. Meoni's creations are characterized typically by monochromatic velvet canvases with intimate cuts, resulting from performative gestures that add a temporal dimension to their three-dimensional aspects.

Daniele Milvio, born in 1988 in Genoa, Italy, is an artist known for his innovative approach to figurative painting and sculpture. A graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, his work blends classical techniques with contemporary commentary, often drawing on historical and mythological references.
