At a glance
Painting becomes a slow record of time: layered surfaces, restrained colour and traces of movement reveal Mariella Simoni’s quiet tension between abstraction and matter.

Artlovers Tip
Stand close enough to see the accumulated layers, then step back. Simoni’s work changes noticeably with distance: what first looks restrained becomes much more physical.
Not a destination exhibition on its own, but exactly the kind of quiet, intelligent presentation that rewards curious visitors: an artist with a long career, a distinctive material language and relatively little mainstream visibility.
★★★½ — A good discovery inside the MAM collection.
