A tiny artist retreat by the Mediterranean Sea in Ventimiglia

The space

A small independent seaside studio in Ventimiglia, on the Italian Riviera, offered to painters and visual artists looking for a quiet week by the Mediterranean. The apartment is just a few steps from the beach and has access to the building’s shared rooftop terrace, a large open-air space where you can relax, read, sketch or simply enjoy the Mediterranean light. It can accommodate one artist or a couple. I am particularly interested in painting, drawing and printmaking. The idea is a simple and personal exchange: I offer the accommodation free of charge for up to one week and, in return, I would like to receive an original work by the artist for my private collection. The work does not necessarily have to be created during the stay or inspired by Ventimiglia. It may be an existing work, something created here, or something that comes out of the experience. I prefer to decide together with each artist, according to their practice and work. This is a personal and informal exchange rather than an institutional residency. There are no artistic assignments or required subjects.
