The event at the Andrea Felice Art & Design Studio will take place on 22 October 2026, from 5:30 p.m. until approximately 8:00 p.m.

Artist Andrea Felice has conceived the event for the gallery space SOGLIA/AF Art Space, located at 22A Via Adeodato Matricardi: a new creative venue where the artist’s studio and the art gallery merge and interact.

The studio is a place of artistic research and creation, where images, videos, photographs, books and prints become sources of inspiration and working materials for Andrea Felice’s artworks.

Once again, this year, the programme will feature an experience connected with the Metaverse. Visitors will enter an immersive visual and sound environment created from an artwork by Andrea Felice. They will be able to walk inside the painting and interact with the presences they encounter along the way.

The event will also offer an account of the artist’s creative journey and of the development of the distinctive technique through which his works are produced.

The originality of this technique earned Andrea Felice the Art Critics’ Award at the 24th edition of the Premio delle Arti – Premio della Cultura, held in Milan in 2012. In 2019, he received the Painting Award at the Premium International Florence Seven Stars in Florence and the Painting Award at SaturARTE 2019 – 24th National Contemporary Art Competition, held at Galleria SATURA in Genoa.

In 2021, he was awarded Second Prize at Open Art 2021, followed by First Prize at Open Art 2022. In 2023, he participated in the 14th Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art, where he received the Lorenzo il Magnifico Medal for his use of Metaverse technologies in contemporary art, with the work Silent Invaders.

During the event, Andrea Felice’s entire creative and production process will be presented and demonstrated through the making of his latest artwork: from the initial sketch to the layout, from plotter printing to acrylic painting with brushes and airbrushes, and from cutting and collage to scanning and completion of the final work.

The artistic performance will conclude with a short discussion, during which visitors will be invited to ask questions and share their impressions and curiosities.

The performance and the event will be documented through photography and video.
