UNDICI – OPERA

From July 31 to August 4, the Zaki Exhibition Space hosted the exhibition by Mia Pampaloni during the “Effetto Venezia” festival in Livorno. The exhibition “UNDICI – OPERA” featured a collection of 12 portraits of opera singers, all created by the young artist at just fourteen years old. Mia combined her passion for painting and opera, creating works born from in-depth research and a profound love for art.

The “UNDICI” project, launched in 2021, is a bold manifesto of freedom. In a world that often pushes toward conformity, Mia Pampaloni steadfastly holds on to her own nature and inclinations. This project is an invitation for everyone to believe in their passions and follow their instincts, finding strength within themselves even when the models imposed are different. “UNDICI” began with the first exhibition of Mia’s works created in her eleventh year of age, becoming a symbol not only of talent, but also of determination and hope, attracting the attention of the national press.

Mia Pampaloni’s research
Mia Pampaloni is not only a young painter, but also a knowledgeable opera music enthusiast and a passionate reader. Her preparation for each portrait is meticulous: she studies each opera singer in depth, analyzing photographs, performances, movements and expressions. This research allows her to capture not only physical features, but also the soul of her subjects. Her portraits convey the energy and passion of the artists, resulting in vivid and engaging works.

Mia’s personal journey is not an easy one. Often misunderstood, her path is nonetheless a testament to the value of fully pursuing one’s inclinations. Her works do not merely reproduce reality: they communicate deep, authentic emotions, born from passionate research.
