From 2 to 24 April 2022 , the Museo della Permanente in Milan hosts the personal exhibition of Luisella Traversi Guerra , entitled The ideal of mastery .

The exhibition, organized by the Society for Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition and by Skira publisher, curated and set up by COIMA Image - architectural design, interior design, space planning studio - presents over 40 works that retrace the most mature creative phase of artist, characterized by an expressive figure that revolves around Nature and that melting pot of shapes, lights and colors that it continually manages to generate and regenerate. Always at the center of Luisella Traversi Guerra's interests, nature is the place where man feels his archaic belonging to the earth.


Moving from impressionist suggestions, passing from Van Gogh to the beloved Georgia O'Keeffe, the sign of Luisella Traversi Guerra becomes more material, drawing on the great Lombard naturalistic tradition, that of Ennio Morlotti but also of Piero Giunni and Ilario Rossi. This density determines a real revolution that takes place thanks to the painter's imagination. Step by step, the floral turns towards the informal, the traces of figurative fade into the abstract, in a breath of spirituality. At the same time, the artist changes his modus operandi, passing from oil painting to tempera and finally to acrylic.


Precisely the cycle of expressive materials is of fundamental importance in Luisella Traversi Guerra's artistic itinerary, not only for the new “material” centrality, but also for the recurring presence of the figure of the circle that is found in her works such as Rosa Mystica of 2009. More than paintings, they are icons, in which “the need for unity, devotion and gratitude - recalls the artist - pushes us to open ourselves to the dimension of prayer”. The "circle", "prayer" are two key words of his vocabulary, which should not be neglected in the least, but on the contrary accepted in their mystical sense.
