Lucia Canu she has always dedicated herself to the representation of the sea, capturing on the one hand the beauty of its colors and transparencies and bringing them back to canvas, and on the other allowing her to revive memories and emotions linked to the places of holidays and childhood.

In the exhibition organized by Per Arte Vie, there are works that show glimpses of beaches of northern Sardinia: Porto Istana, Capriccioli, Porto Taverna, with details of the transparencies with almost hyper-realistic tones, which characterize the artist’s painting. Gym goers will thus have the opportunity, during lessons, to be accompanied by the colors of the Sardinian sea and be even more encouraged to take a dip in the Gallura sea in the upcoming summer season.
The exhibition is therefore a further invitation to love the sea, to respect it, and to reawaken one’s emotions and memories.
The idea of an exhibition in the Kinarmonia gym was born from the collaboration with the Per Arte Vie association, precisely to give a response to the lack of spaces for art in the city and from the desire to share the taste for art and beauty in everyday life and in contexts out of the ordinary.
The exhibition remains open, with free entry, from Monday to Friday during the gym’s opening hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8.00 – 11.00, 17.00 – 21.00; Tuesday and Thursday 9.00-11.00, 14.30-15.30, 19.00-21.00.
The exhibition is organized by the “Per Arte Vie” Association whose activities are dedicated to the valorisation of art and to bringing the city of Olbia closer to the knowledge of contemporary art.
“How deep is the sea” is organized thanks to the collaboration with Kinarmonia and the support of Macchia Mediterranea and Tenute Faladas.

For Arte Vie
The “Per Arte Vie” Cultural Association was born in 2023 from the desire to enhance contemporary art with particular interest in young and emerging artists and in the art produced in Sardinia.
The idea is to take care of the organization of contemporary art exhibition and communication projects but also to spread interest in art among people as much as possible.
For Arte Vie believes in art as a tool for social renewal capable of spreading values of equality, brotherhood, social justice, but also capable of creating relationships, enhancing traditions and starting creative processes in communities.
