From June 5 to July 31, 2025, Spazio Thetis in Venice’s historic Arsenale hosts Scandagli e Nuove Emersioni, the latest solo exhibition by Venetian artist Massimiliana Sonego. The show presents her most recent body of work—a vivid, introspective exploration of memory, perception, and the symbolic power of everyday objects.
Known for her distinctive use of color and bold visual language, Sonego creates a pictorial universe where chairs, vases, and domestic forms are stripped of function and elevated to emotional and symbolic figures. Her work merges oil and acrylic painting with traditional printmaking techniques like etching and aquatint, crafting layered compositions that act as portals into personal and collective imagination.
Spazio Thetis welcomes Sonego’s unique voice within the contemporary art scene, celebrating her ability to blend visual rigor with poetic dissonance. As curator Stefano Cecchetto notes, the exhibition evokes “a deep dive into unknown waters, where each resurfacing brings new visions and energy from the artist’s inexhaustible painterly world.”
Combining geometric clarity with expressive fragmentation, Sonego’s canvases appear suspended in time—objects in transition, charged with symbolic resonance. Scandagli e Nuove Emersioni is not just a show, but a journey through light, memory, and the invisible territories of thought

Artist:
Massimiliana Sonego lives in Veneto - Italy . After attending the Scuola Libera del Nudo (Free School of the Nude), she graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice under the guidance of Carlo Maschietto and Luca Bendini, completing her training with engraving courses by Paolo Fraternali. Her pictorial research focuses on objects of affection, such as chairs, vases, armchairs, and music boxes, which become symbols of a personal and collective memory. In addition to painting – oil or acrylic, on small and large surfaces – she also practices engraving, particularly with chalcographic techniques such as etching and aquatint.
