Dentro, Appena Fuori, Fuori
Dentro, Appena Fuori, Fuori 
Michela Rosa, Silvia Santoro, Nicolò Tacmeanu  
Curated by Gianni Politi 
 
Andrea Festa Fine Art inaugurates a group exhibition, “Dentro, appena fuori, fuori”, curated by  Gianni Politi, bringing together the works of three emerging artists—Michela Rosa, Silvia Santoro,  and Nicolò Tacmeanu—whose practices explore the complex entanglement between body,  identity, and perception.  
 
For the occasion, six oil paintings byMichela Rosa, seven oil paintings by Nicolò Tacmeanu, and  five sculptures by Silvia Santoro are on display. 
 
The opening ceremony will take place on Tuesday, July 8th, from 6 to 9 p.m., and the exhibition  will run through September 15th, 2025, at Andrea Festa Fine Art, Lungotevere degli Altoviti 1,  Rome, Italy. 
 
“L’artista che usa le orecchie per guardare, non solo osserva ciò che ovviamente gli occhi vedono  ma aggiunge un potentissimo filtro visivo/sonoro che è il proprio eco interiore.” – Gianni Politi 
 
The title evokes a shifting spatial and psychological dimension in which the self simultaneously  resides within, just beyond, and entirely outside the visible form. In this liminal zone, the artist, as  Politi suggests, learns to “look with the ears,” sensing echoes rather than surfaces, resonances  rather than representations. This perspective opens up an intimate, often unspoken realm of  experience—what Politi describes as a “fourth dimension”—that transcends traditional visuality. 
 
Dentro, Appena fuori, Fuori is not only a presentation of individual practices, but a resonant  collective inquiry into the porous boundaries between inner and outer, seen and felt. The  exhibition invites viewers to attune to the subtleties of perception, to listen as much as to look, to  dwell, even momentarily, in the fourth dimension. 
 

Michela Rosa  
Born in Rome in 2003, Rosa is an Italian-Swedish painter currently pursuing a degree in Visual  Arts and Painting at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), campus of Rome. Her oil paintings  examine the tension between the self and the body—a body shaped, distorted, and scrutinized by  the gaze of social media. Her refined, delicate surfaces seek perfection, only to question whether  that perfection is real or imagined. In her words: "Il corpo si espone nelle sue fragilità, come un occhio che si osserva e si perscruta.”  
 
Silvia Santoro 
Born in Rome in 2003, Santoro works across multiple media, with a particular focus on textiles.  Currently, she is pursuing a degree in Visual Arts and Painting at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti  (NABA), campus of Rome. A founding member of the collective 0,99, she interrogates the female  body through a poetic and tactile lens. For Santoro, fabric becomes a metaphor for skin and  origin, echoing the uterine space and early sensory memories. Her work stages a delicate process  of undressing and redressing, of reclaiming bodily autonomy. "Il tessile... si pone in sostituzione  della prima pelle che abitiamo ancor prima di essere concepiti: l’utero.”  
 
Nicolò Tacmeanu  
Born in Palestrina in 2002, Romanian by birth and naturalized Italian, Tacmeanu navigates themes  of queerness, migration, and bodily estrangement. He is pursuing a degree in Visual Arts and  Painting at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), campus of Rome. Through painting and mixed  media, he reclaims the fragmented body as a site of presence rather than absence, proposing an  alternative mode of being rooted in sensation and emotional honesty. "Il ‘non essere’ non è una  novità... Quando sento il mio corpo e lo accolgo, do loro colore e forma.”
