Velvet Waves

The memory of women, silenced for a long time, described the political and social changes with different sensitivities and language. Maria Luisa di Borbone became the keystone for a story that until now has been only partially told.
The voice of Maria Louisa clearly emerges from her recently found letters. A new point of view for the analysis of a very complex historical period when Europe was dominated by Napoleon. Compared with the traditional historiography, the negative assessment of the sovereign has been completely redesigned.

Nicoletta Cerasomma is a pop surrealist artist with a background in staged photography.
Her work is highly conceptual and complex: she incorporates archetypes and cultural iconography with satirical narratives inspired by the collective unconscious. Leaning into the visual language of pop surrealism, she stages narrative compositions that expose the underbelly of modern life.
Nicoletta is inspired by the dichotomy Beauty and Decay, themes that she incorporates incorporates in order to evoke contemplation on human condition, through a vivid and provocative cinematic technique.
