Eden

Eden was Rossella Picciani’s sixth solo exhibition and, in addition to over 25 wonderful, new paintings, the exhibition marked the first public showing of her work applied to fabric, furniture, tableware and jewellery.

This exciting development offered admirers of Picciani’s beautiful, multifaceted work additional ways to enjoy her unique vision.
