THE GOLDEN RATIO II Φ — The Formula of Beauty | 23-24 Oct 2026 | Rome Art Week

THE GOLDEN RATIO II Φ — The Formula of Beauty

An international contemporary art exhibition curated by Eileen Contreras, exploring the Golden Ratio as a universal principle of balance, proportion and harmony across art, nature, science and perception.

The Golden Ratio II returns to Rome for its second edition during Rome Art Week 2026, bringing together international artists in a contemporary dialogue around the Golden Ratio, Φ ≈ 1.618.

Historically associated with harmony and proportion, and present across nature, science, architecture and art, the Golden Ratio is approached in this exhibition not as a mathematical rule but as a creative catalyst.

Through painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media and experimental practices, the participating artists explore ideas of balance, rhythm, proportion, transformation and geometry, translating them through their own individual visual languages. 

Hosted within the historic setting of Palazzo Ruspoli, the exhibition establishes a dialogue between classical architectural proportion and contemporary artistic research, inviting visitors to reflect on the presence of order and harmony within the complexity of our time.
