The intersection of history and personal reflection

Villa Clivio, rich with stories of the past and in the midst of a sustainable rebirth, offered Sara a fertile environment to deepen her artistic journey. The sprawling garden and ancient walls became both backdrop and silent collaborator, as Sara embraced the villa’s quiet power. Her time here was not just about creating art but about connecting with a place that holds centuries of life with her own creative process.

This exchange between artist and environment fostered a unique sense of collaboration, where the history of Villa Clivio intertwined with Sara’s introspective approach. The residence became a space for exploration—both external and internal—allowing Sara to delve deeper into her thoughts and ideas. As the villa undergoes its own transformation, Sara's creative process mirrored this rebirth, reflecting the passage of time and the layers of experience embedded in the walls. The result is a body of work that not only resonates with her personal evolution but also with the rich, untold stories of the place itself.

The Process Unfolds

The tranquil setting of Villa Clivio provided the perfect environment for Sara to immerse herself in her work. Here, amidst the quiet mountains and the slow rhythm of nature, she found the space to experiment, reflect, and evolve. This residency was not about rushing toward a finished product but about embracing the journey—each movement, pause, and decision reflecting the deep introspection that defines Sara’s practice. Her work at the residency stands as a testament to the power of time, place, and process.
