Following in the footsteps of the successful MIA ART Collection exhibitions in Dubai, UAE titled “Fragility” in 2023, “Serendipity” in 2022 and “Sense of Women” in 2021, and the first women artists photography exhibition in Abu Dhabi titled “What a Wonderful World” in 2023, MIA ART Collection is proud to present the 2024 art exhibition titled ‘Lavinia’, presenting 15 carefully selected artworks by women artists from Italy:
- Mara Fabbro.
- Anna Botticini.
- Isadora Capraro.
- Silvia Giordani.
The exhibition LAVINIA is centered around an exclusive artwork of that period by the famous and iconic artist Lavinia Fontana, one of the most renowned women artists in history. LAVINIA is an exhibition that seeks to transport us to the baroque period in 16th century Italy and bring us forward in time to current times by contrasting with modern woman Italian artists.
MIA Art Collection focuses on creating visibility and supporting women artists in a responsible, sustainable and global way. In 2020 MIA Art Collection launched the first Virtual Museum exclusively for women artists “MIA Anywhere” and engages in numerous support projects on a global scale including art exhibitions, scholarships, MIA Residence, to name a few.
