LamaroArte presents Mapping Dreams, a contemporary art exhibition that explores the multifaceted nature of travel—understood as discovery, adventure, and an inner journey. The project stems from a unique dialogue between artistic expression, the Mediterranean landscape, and the culture of hospitality, finding its ideal home at the prestigious Abi d’Oru Beach Resort & Spa, where hospitality is transformed into an aesthetic experience.
Throughout the summer of 2026, the resort’s spaces—from the interior halls to the gardens opening onto the sea—will host a multifaceted exhibition itinerary. The works are not merely meant to be observed; they inhabit the space, traverse it, and transform it, inviting guests to become travelers. The exhibition aligns with Abi d’Oru’s philosophy, where well-being is understood as a cultural practice and beauty as a form of connection and discovery of the local area.
The exhibition brings together six contemporary artists in a single narrative flow expressed through a feminine lens. Each body of work unfolds as a stage in an autonomous yet deeply interconnected journey: a shared voyage that moves between real and imaginary travels, between the exploration of the material world and the more implicit and profound paths of our unconscious.
What unites the artists, who work in diverse languages and techniques, is a distinctive focus on materials and the use of complex artisanal processes, where each work emerges as an authentic, precious, and one-of-a-kind piece.
The textile and material installations of Tiziana Contu, a leading figure in Italian fiber art, stem from extensive training in traditional weaving, learned under the guidance of master artisans and now translated into a layered and experimental contemporary language. In her studio in Cagliari, the artist embarks on a journey back in time and through memory, creating works that are both anecdotal and visionary. Natural and metallic fibers, ceramics, paper, and objets trouvés intertwine in a poetic universe made of threads that tangle and unravel like paths of the unconscious, evoking tensions, connections, and possibilities for recomposition in a constant emotional and symbolic journey.
Carla Cinciripì’s sculptures exist in a dimension where personal and cultural imagination merge into an intimate and recognizable visual language. Her work, born of a deep artistic calling and a constant dialogue with the worlds of fashion and precious objects, unfolds as a spiritual adventure through experimentation with diverse materials, from painting to leather modeling to metal sculpture. Her creations, linked to the theme of the flower as a symbol of love and transience, transform matter into an affective gesture and the object into a sentimental travel diary, suspended between romantic aesthetics and a contemporary vision.
Emanuela Giacco’s research focuses on the relationship between material, memory, and sustainability, through a sculptural language that intertwines existential reflection and ecological awareness. Her works, created in part with recycled nautical ropes, explicitly evoke sea voyages, navigation, and the spirit of discovery, transforming into organic structures that convey the complexity of the human condition. The rope, a common and symbolic element, becomes a metaphor for a journey that is both collective and intimate, a profound interconnection between microcosm and macrocosm, between personal history and responsibility toward the natural world.
The visions of Alessandra Carloni, a Roman street artist and painter, celebrate travel in its purest sense as adventure and fairy-tale discovery. Through canvases and actual nautical charts, the artist transforms the seascape into a narrative language, constructing emotional maps where real geography overlaps with the inner landscape. Her works evoke routes, crossings, and poetic drifts, where the sea becomes the mental space of an imaginary journey in search of new possible worlds.
Among the featured artists is also the Roman sculptor Silvia Scaringella, whose practice is rooted in an anthropological and sociological inquiry that observes the relationships between the individual and the collective, and between the human and animal worlds. Her works take the form of organic systems and dialoguing multitudes—shapes that evoke the dynamism, tension, and entropy of the present, translating a subtle symbolism of existential relationships into material form. Within the exhibition itinerary, Silvia Scaringella’s work introduces a reflection on the invisible bond between beings, environments, and behaviors, offering a sculptural presence that engages with the Mediterranean landscape and the experiential dimension of hospitality, transforming the space into a place of connections and sensory crossings.
Chelita Zuckerman’s sculptural presence introduces an essential and immersive dimension, in which metal takes on an organic and vibrant form. Her stainless steel sculptures invite viewers on a sensory journey, creating landscapes that connect the body, nature, and architecture. Through animal figures and primary forms, the artist explores the stages of an invisible journey that connects the natural world to our deepest inner selves, restoring an emotional and almost breathing quality to the steel.
The exhibition unfolds as a continuous passage between interior and exterior, between architecture and nature, between light and matter. The works engage in a dialogue with the landscape and with the intimate dimension of hospitality, creating an immersive experience in which the journey of art and daily life intertwine seamlessly.
