Zero km art: the “King of blue” exhibition
Until Sunday 28 April, the socio-cultural association “Arte a Km zero” is offering an exhibition completely inspired by nature in Contra San Gaetano Thiene, Vicenza. Through the selection of precious materials, the artist Wilma Strabello will give life to evocative objects, within the scenography designed by Edoardo Maria Maggiolocreating an overall magical atmosphere.
For over twenty years, Strabello has been an established author of women’s and children’s manuals. Among her projects, Wilma can count in several books, published by Mondadori, Giunti Demetra, and Walt Disney, where she teaches the wonder of “knowing how to create”, in addition to “knowing how to do with your hands”.
Research and experimentation, these are the artist’s key words, which led her to the rediscovery and valorization of her techniques, giving a notable boost to women’s manuals. Furthermore, Wilma Strabello also dedicates herself to the creation of fashion accessories and furniture.
In her home-laboratory, the “Academy of Ideas”, Wilma dedicates herself to the creation of objects and books, as well as holding courses and internships.
