Notes

Sandro Trapani is a contemporary artist whose work reflects on the beauty found in memories and experiences, particularly those that are forgotten or lost. His art evokes feelings of nostalgia and melancholy, exploring how recollections of people, places, and moments can become blurred over time. Trapani’s portraits often incorporate familiar yet nonspecific elements—such as ancient architecture, eroding wood, and fractured surfaces—suggesting a sense of melancholia and tragedy. Notable exhibitions include the 2024 ArtEye Gallery and Brahman Hills Legacy Gardens, where he presented two large site-specific works, and the 2023 Anatomica Botanica Architecta at North West Botanical Gardens, where he also served as curator.
