This new exhibition is a special edition, with the aim to celebrate the achievement of the over ten years of history of the mini format exhibitions and the great network these events have created during the years. Thanks to all artists who have participated during all these years, some of you are by now good friends and companions in many of my art adventures. I feel very grateful.

In choosing the theme for "The Illusion of Reality", I drew on my belief that artists, powerfully interacting with the proposed subject, will respond letting flow their intimate imaginary into artworks where reality and illusion, visible and invisible, will originate strong vibrations in a significant and sustained dialogue. 

I hope this theme will be both a challenge and inspiration to artists.
