WarmtHub, the artistic-cultural space where the lobby of the Warmthotel in Rome is used as an exhibition area, presents "FORMS NOT FORMS OF THE SOUL", a two-person exhibition by Mauro Romano and Ana Paula Torres. It may be enjoyed at the Warmthotel at via Giuseppe Prezzolini, 5 - 00143 Rome EUR, every day from 10am to 10pm, until 31 October 2025.

The instinctive and dynamic painting of Mauro Romano combines with the plasticity and elegance of Ana Paula Torres' sculpture to give life to the exhibition "Forms Not Forms of the Soul".

The two artists display a dialogue between shapes and colors, light and shadow, solids and voids, light and dark, masculine and feminine. It becomes a true journey to discover that which is visible and invisible. Yes, because the fact that it is invisible does not mean that it does not exist - just like the soul.

The soul is the invisible part of humans. Its name derives from the Greek “ánemos” which means "wind" or "breath" - more so "breath" in the case of human beings. It can also be defined as the psychological or spiritual part of mankind, an immaterial but essential presence, which Romano and Torres seek to nourish with their art.

From Mauro Romano's wild relationship with shapes and colors - driven by an uncontrollable internal need to express himself - paintings are born where the form transforms, recreates or dissolves, to then present itself transfigured in the sculptural works of Ana Paula Torres. In the three-dimensionality of the full and rounded shapes, impetuosity dissolves in search of a calm place for the soul to be at rest.
