New horizons – my second exhibition in Venice 

After my first exhibition in Naples – which turned out to be a true lesson and a test of patience – it was time for the next step: my second exhibition, once again organized by Divulgarti, but this time in a completely different place. The event took place right in the heart of one of the Venetian islands, and that already gave it a special atmosphere. The location itself was a little hidden, almost secretive, as if it wanted visitors to discover it before stepping inside – an experience that perfectly suited the spirit of art.

More people, more energy

Compared to the first exhibition, this opening was much livelier. There were not only artists but also casual visitors, tourists, and local art lovers. The space was buzzing with conversations, questions, recordings, and photos being taken. I could truly feel the energy of the place and see how people interacted with the works – how my painting drew their attention and sparked curiosity.

The opening itself, however, was a bit chaotic. There was no clear program or official start. Everything unfolded spontaneously, in a very Italian way – lively, improvised, full of movement. At first, it felt confusing, but later I realized it also gave the exhibition a sense of natural flow and freedom. People wandered through the rooms, stopping wherever something caught their eye – and that made the whole experience feel authentic.

Better collaboration and communication

The biggest improvement compared to my first experience was definitely the communication with the organizers. This time, I regularly received emails with updates and practical information. I didn’t have to ask so many questions or chase details on my own. I felt included in the process, as if someone was really watching over the organization and making sure everything went smoothly. That allowed me to focus on what truly matters – the art itself.

The exhibition space also made a great impression on me. It consisted of four small, connected rooms, well-lit mainly by natural light, which gave the artworks a fresh, vivid look. In such conditions, the paintings seemed to breathe, and I could see that visitors appreciated that atmosphere.

A few small shortcomings

Of course, not everything was perfect. When I sent my painting, I included a few business cards in the form of bookmarks, hoping they would be displayed during the exhibition. Unfortunately, they weren’t presented, even though promotional materials from other artists were visible in several places. It’s a small detail, but I believe these little things matter – they help build connection and leave a lasting impression.

In terms of online promotion, Divulgarti did share stories featuring me, one post, and one reels video on Instagram. Another video was recorded but never published, which was a bit disappointing – every additional post helps to reach new audiences. Still, compared to my first exhibition, the visibility and engagement were noticeably better, and I appreciate that progress.

The shipping process went smoothly, and as I’m writing this article, the painting is on its way back to me, since it didn’t sell during the exhibition.

Reflections and lessons learned

This exhibition confirmed for me that it’s worth trying, exploring, and not being afraid of new challenges. I’ve learned that art is not only about what hangs on the walls, but also about the entire process – from communication and logistics to relationships and the stories we share. Each event like this is another chapter in my artistic journey – a lesson that helps me grow, reflect, and move forward with even more awareness and passion.
