We met a couple of days ago for her exhibition and a special project we will do together, but what’s amazing is that we connected instantly in an emotional way.
Gabriela is a flower designer, but above all a scent artist, explaining what it means and how you create smells to express yourself. She opened Condominio Fiore, a former greenhouse she turned into an artist studio for residencies and exhibitions, but above all to create a place of beauty and revendicate the right to beauty.
This conversation led us to explore our roots and what it means to haven’t chosen a city, that tough love-hate relationship we hear so much about in Rome, and the highness of Roman monuments that keep fascinating you through the years. We exchanged about the difficulty of bringing newness to Rome and the feeling of being rejected here, but also how that frustration can turn into a drive for change. In an honest conversation about being an artist working in the creative industry, and touching upon her recent exhibition Mutuus, born from a collective residency, she shares her habits in Rome, her passion for seeing Circo Massimo under the rain, and her love for the Roman light that exists nowhere else.
This conversation was born from an encounter and a partnership with Culture Finder and Art Files for Rome Future Week. Good Dramma will be present for a special event in Condominio Fiore, the studio of Gabriela Grandi, presenting a new artistic project that combines live music by ColaSuono and a drawing performance by Agathe Briot.
