The exhibition will open to the public on December 05\, 2025\, at 0 6:00 PM at Medina Art Gallery in Rome\, and will run until December 18\, 2 025.\n\nROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 analyzes the relationship between body and space\, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/ph ysical/social/urban settings in contemporary times\, through two main sect ions: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.\n\nMIXING IDENTITIES analyz es the hidden parts of our identities\, through an immersive experience in side the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousne ss. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality\; a strong communication s ystem with its own language and infinite ways of expression.\n\nFUTURE LAN DSCAPES are abstract\, infinite and conceptual\, associated with a sense o f freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind\, sp aces redefine their limits and borders\, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body\, mind and soul\, the human identity and the city\, the space and the ground.\n\nAcross their diverse practices\, the o ver forty selected artists from around the world embody the core themes of the ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025\, each offering a distinct perspecti ve on the evolving relationship between body\, identity\, and space.\n\nFr om Turkey\, Cenk Akaltun draws on his background in screen printing and gr aphic design to develop an organic\, process-driven pictorial language ins pired by the spiritual symbolism of water. Its fluidity\, chromatic mergin g\, and dual role as both life-giving and destructive inform compositions that behave like living organisms\, evoking ecosystems that span from the microscopic to the urban scale. Each painting functions as a unified spiri tual structure\, where individual elements gain meaning only through their connection to the whole.\nWith a similar background yet different results \, Steffen Wagner- a Berlin-based artist and graphic designer - merges typ ography with a refined minimalist aesthetic: rooted\nin drawing\, his prac tice has evolved into a deep investigation of letterforms and their expres sive potential. Through posters\, sketches\, and experimental typographic systems\, Wagner seeks clarity\, rhythm\, and emotional impact\, treating visual design as a tool for dialogue and empowerment\, and affirming creat ivity as a boundless force.\nXu Kangyi’s photographic practice began as an instinctive way to preserve fleeting moments charged with quiet emotion : moving between Macau and Boston\, she gravitates toward silhouettes\, na tural light\, and delicate tableaux where stillness reveals human vulnerab ility. Often portraying solitary figures or subtle exchanges between stran gers\, her images explore identity as a fluid entity shaped by memory and place. Rather than isolating her subjects\, she lets them blend with shado w\, reflection\, and architectural space\, inviting viewers to find echoes of their own experiences. Similarly guided by the idea that everything in life is connected\, Mirela Lesneanu investigates the parallels between hu man bodies and organic structures using collage\, printmaking\, ink\, acry lics\, and photography to reflect on ancient nature symbolism\, cycles of death and renewal\, and the belief in the sentience of trees. Her layered mixed-media compositions take viewers to look beyond appearances and redis cover their kinship with the natural world\, transforming personal reflect ion into a universal meditation on belonging.\nWithin this context\, Rome once again becomes an active interlocutor between its centuries of cultura l memory\, amplifying the narrative power of the contemporary works on dis play. In this setting\, Artur Mirzoyan’s practice resonates with particu lar intensity\, combining rigorous academic technique with the immediacy o f a cinematic key frame\, through which he reinterprets symbolic motifs fr om classical European art. Using precise silhouettes\, smooth contours\, a nd a deep\, varied colour palette\, often enriched with gilding\, his comp ositions uncover the drama embedded in a single moment\, suspended between movement and stillness\, expanding the language of classical painting and opening new pathways for visual storytelling.
