VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 – 23RD EDITION
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 – 23RD EDITION
December 12 – 22, 2025
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, Venice
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association,
is pleased to announce the opening of the 23rd edition of VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART
FAIR 2025, which will take place in Venice at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, on December 12,
2025, and will remain open until December 22, embracing the enchanting atmosphere of
the Christmas season in Venice.
With contributions from international artists representing more than 30 countries, this
edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with the unseen dimensions of life and
identity. The fair also features the solo exhibition “Sculpting My Universe” by Spanish artist
Blanca Martí, curated by Luca Curci – an intimate journey into her distinctive artistic
language that merges color, texture, and sculptural techniques transforming personal
stories and memories into evocative visual forms.
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 analyzes the relationship between body and
space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban contexts
in contemporary times, through two main sections: LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE
LANDSCAPES.
LIQUID ROOMS analyzes the hidden parts of our identities through an immersive
experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness.
The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to
perceive the surrounding reality: a strong communication system with its own language
and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite, and conceptual, associated with a sense of
freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their
limits and borders, transforming surfaces into an open flow of pure ideas. This section
focuses on the concept of boundaries and structures between body, mind, and soul,
human identity, and the city, the space, and the ground.
Across the diverse range of practices featured at the 23rd edition of the Venice
International Art Fair, the dialogue between body, identity, and space emerges as a central
thread. From Atefeh Hosseini’s fluid exploration of movement and organic rhythms, which
translates the vitality of nature into subtle visual energy, to Bianca Pirlog’s layered
compositions blending painting, digital media, and Eastern aesthetics to explore
vulnerability and inner dualities, each work invites viewers to consider the interplay of inner
life and external form. Carine Hayoz extends this investigation into the urban sphere, using
acrylics to weave architectural abstraction with human presence, highlighting the

improvisational rhythms of city life and how relationships and space coexist in dynamic
tension.
In parallel, Paola Lazzareschi and Anastasiia Tishkina confront the human body and
psyche from contrasting yet complementary perspectives. Lazzareschi’s experiments with
AI-generated imagery and traditional media probe the perception of forms and shadows,
redefining the body as a site of continuous transformation, while Tishkina channels
personal trauma into expressive brushwork, translating pain and healing into tangible,
emotionally resonant forms. Both practices emphasize how technique can articulate
experience and provoke reflection, bridging personal narrative and universal human
conditions.
Materiality, combined with technical experimentation, serves as a unifying thread
throughout the exhibition: Tiziana Marongiu manipulates light, texture, and digital media to
craft immersive atmospheres, while Viktorika and Federico Verdiani harness color, texture,
and gestural abstraction to push the boundaries of perception, from the chromatic intensity
and layered surfaces of Viktorika’s practice to Verdiani’s dynamic dialogue of fluid forms
and impulsive geometries. Similarly, Oz Azar’s multidisciplinary Encrypted Metaphorical
Art transforms personal trauma into material form, employing ceramics, casting, and mixed
media to encode emotion and memory into tangible, textured compositions.
Together, these works construct a multifaceted conversation on contemporary identity
while emphasizing transformation – whether through the rhythms of nature, the architecture
of cities, technological mediation, or the materialization of memory and emotion – and
invite viewers to navigate the interstices between body, mind, and space.
The exhibition features a great selection of video artworks (see
