Michela Fabeni Art Gallery | Goddess Rome | Textured Bas-Relief on Canvas | Tribute to the Eternal City Goddess Rome breathes in her raw, unfinished form, pure like matter itself. Light glides across the white surface, revealing a silent strength: a birth, a beginning, an energy taking shape. The figure emerges as a timeless, archaic female nude.

Michela Fabeni Art Gallery | Bas-Relief Dancer Among the Clouds – Through Space and Time This dancer rises vertically, as an act of ascent.

One arm reaches upward, while the other touches the side edge, as if seeking an opening, a passage, a way out of matter itself. The bas-relief is strong and pronounced, surrounded by silver clouds i

Moon Fragment is not incomplete by absence, but because it is in motion. It is a moon that remains open, suspended in its own becoming, mirroring our journey of transformation and evolution. It is created on a 90 cm round canvas, left raw white, crossed by thick, dense, living matter. A material shaped with a spatula and bare hands, holding time, gesture, and the memory of the body. The moon does not fill the entire circle. It leaves space, a threshold, a breath. From the

Metatron Flower, bas-relief on round canvas, 90 cm, palette knife, bare hands, gold and silver leaf Metatron Flower expands a universal vision where form is no longer geometry, but vibration. A living structure born from fragments of the universe, suspended between air, earth, fire, and water. At the center, what vibrates does not seek measure. Gold pulses. Silver enfolds. An ancient dance unfolds—one that asks for no symmetry, no rigid order, no imposed perfection. This wo

Sapere aude! : palette knife, bare hands, gold and silver leaf. This bas-relief on canvas entrusts its language to light.

The relief breathes with movement, capturing the tenderness, the tension, the invisible threads that connect us. A passage through love, connection,

Eternity is a bas-relief on canvas where gold becomes presence and infinity becomes space. At the center of a large golden infinity, two figures—man and woman—face one another in silent proximity. They are not opposing forces, nor mirrored reflections. They remain distinct, yet deeply connected, held within the same luminous field. The infinite here is not a symbol, but a living threshold. A place where duality softens, where masculine and feminine currents recognize one ano

Michela Fabeni Art Gallery | Journey Through Time – Textured Bas-Relief on Canvas Journey Through Time is a horizontal canvas bas-relief where the Golden Circle of Life becomes the focal point and source, a point of balance between past, present, and future. The golden leaf captures the light, while a man in the upper corner reaches out and a woman in the lower corner emerges, in a suspended gesture that spans epochs and memories. Every line is a fragment of existence; ever

Michela Fabeni Art Gallery – Contemporary Art: Smussato Textured Bas-Reliefs, a Portal of Light in Rome The Michela Fabeni Art Gallery is not simply an Exhibition Space . It is a living place, a threshold, a meeting point between matter, gesture, and vision. I call it a Portal of Light, because it does not merely contain artworks, but passages. Inner passages, sensory paths, subtle crossings between what is seen and what vibrates beneath the surface. This physical exhibition

The gold leaf of the Eye captures light and returns it as living vibration, revealing surfaces that speak, breathe, and hold stories both ancie
