Dormiveglia, describes a suspended state in which one is neither fully asleep nor entirely awake. In this exhibition, Wioletta Kulweska Akyel presents fresco paintings created between 2023 and 2026, in which the artist reimagines the ancient technique of fresco within a contemporary context. Fresco is born within a fleeting moment, where each brushstroke is unchangeable, sealing a singular moment of creation. The process demands discipline and technical mastery, all while the plaster is still wet. Painting from memory and the subconscious, Kulewska’s works carry an earthy, tactile sensibility. Drawing on her travels and lived experiences, she weaves spiritual motifs and dreamlike symbols into compositions that feel both intimate and culturally layered. Dormiveglia invites the viewer to reflect on the act of painting itself, the courage to risk, the grace of imperfection, and the enduring quality of a moment made permanent. Curated by Justine Balzan Demajo, the exhibition seeks to revive this demanding discipline while gently challenging the status quo of contemporary art. Join us on Friday 6th March, from 18:30 onwards at Studio 87, for the launch of this unique body of work.
Thank you to our sponsors People and Skin, Halmann Vella Ltd and Demajo Wines and Spirits.
