Silent Dialogue – Daria de Vital at the Michetti Museum in Francavilla al Mare
"Silent Dialogue": the symbolist exhibition by Daria de Vital has been inaugurated at the Library of the Michetti Museum in Francavilla al Mare.
It was Massimo Pasqualone himself who defined Daria de Vital as "a committed artist," emphasizing that she tackles a vast array of themes — from love to destiny, war, and life — through the use of highly powerful symbolism. He added:
"Daria uses very beautiful, very significant colors that immediately draw in mystery, with references to history, and references to symbols — not only of today's society, but symbols of memory. Thus, she uses art to convey its grand functions, to understand the great mystery of life... Poets try, artists try, musicians try, the theater tries. And I thank Daria so much because she accepted this invitation to enrich this afternoon with a sort of union, a marriage between painting and poetry — even if it is dialectal poetry, it is poetry of the highest caliber for us, and deeply important to us. Because the two arts are sisters: both painting and poetry are connected by the head and the heart. By the head, because they demand a profound reflection on the world; by the heart, because they give us so many emotions. And the emotions of painting will endure."

On Thursday, May 28th at 5:00 PM, "Silent Dialogue" – the personal exhibition of Russian artist Daria de Vital – will open at the Museo Michetti (Sala della Biblioteca Antonio Russo). The project is realized with the support of Massimo Pasqualone, whose cultural initiatives consistently attract attention.
This is not a "grab-and-go" exhibition.
These are paintings that do not merely decorate walls but enter into a direct dialogue with the viewer, asking uncomfortable questions. This is intellectual painting that requires reflective attention and a "slow reading".
