7 April – 8 May, 2016
EPEKA Gallery, Maribor

On 7 April 2016, at 7 pm, EPEKA Gallery will open the exhibition Woman, a product of the creative world of Italian artist Serena Luna Raggi.

Serena Luna Raggi is an artist who explores beauty. More precisely, a type of beauty that is not only meant to be the ordinary beauty as we have conceived it in Western civilisation, but strives for the beauty of imperfection. Starting with the details and colours of the contemporary intersection of the Western world with the collective iconographic ideals of those cultures that are too often stereotyped as “inferior” and which, in Serena’s opinion, are overflowing with creativity. Her works have a strong social aspect, as they include traditions, stories and figures from the Roma population, India, Iran, Romania, and Bulgaria. Her inspiration comes from the peoples with whom she is connected, especially by women, and touches on her travels.
