The goal of SinagrArte is to share the vision of all the artists. Every year we strive to do better, paying more attention to the details.

Contemporary art is a vast and varied world that reflects the complexity and diversity of modern society. From radical artistic movements like Surrealism and Dadaism, to today’s immersive and interactive installations, contemporary art continues to evolve and challenge conventions.

SinagrArte is a contemporary art collective that seeks to stand out in the Italian and international scene for the innovative and experimental abilities of the artists who participate each year. Every year we try to offer something new and stimulating for visitors; the artists present are very talented and have an innovative artistic vision. Over the years we have had numerous artists from all over Italy and beyond, art masters who have distinguished themselves in the artistic field by creating avant-garde movements such as the Catanese master Salvatore Barbagallo, with his raggismo and his futuristic vision as a continuation of the figurative avant-garde movement. This year too we have artists who stand out for their way of communicating through art. The works on display vary both in style and theme.

Contemporary artists use a wide range of media and techniques, from site-specific installations to performance art, from photography to digital works.

SinagrArte is a project that was born in the 1980s and was revived four years ago with the aim of bringing it back to its former glory. A project whose goal is to promote art and bring it among the people; in fact, we thought of proposing performances outside the exhibition venues, in order to bring art to the people. Because art is not only for a few enthusiasts or insiders, art is for everyone.

We are living in a very particular historical period, with wars and violence prevailing. An absurd historical period, which shows how man has not yet understood the value of life. Well, according to my vision, art must tell of decadence and indicate the path towards a new renaissance. As someone once said, culture will save the world. I am convinced of this.

This year, unlike previous years, I decided to set up the exhibition starting from a division into categories of the participating artists.

Everything has a motivation.

The motivation for this personal choice of mine, not of the organizing committee, is the journey of humanity and life.

A common thread that links all the elements.

Starting from the artists present who communicate and share their emotions by telling their visions. Each of them has taken an artistic and life journey. Each of them tells us about themselves through forms and colors, trying to bring out beauty in us.

Someone once said: “beauty will save the world” (Dostoevsky), while Peppino Impastato said: “if people were taught beauty, they would be given a weapon against resignation, fear, and silence…”

Today, we tell the story of humanity’s life through forms and colors, because in a decadent period, art must tell of decadence and indicate the path towards a new renaissance.

Decadence is represented by violence, horror, fear, destruction. Through various forms and styles, the artists tell of this decadence we are experiencing in this historical period, but at the same time we tell and indicate the path towards a new renaissance.

In these days you can visit the visions of the artists, united by a common thread: “trying to teach beauty, starting from the division in the manifesto. A division that does not mean downgrading one artist compared to another. It is a division into classes that today’s society, unfortunately, still makes. Our division has the sense of growth as people and as artists, a division that aims to counter what today’s society does unconsciously. By highlighting the division itself.

From this starting point and from the photographs that tell what is happening in Ukraine, in this case, but also in the Middle East, etc.

The common thread, mentioned earlier, leads us to tell everything we witness, because we are witnesses of this time and we have the duty to tell it, so that one day we may reach beauty.

Today we show our Voice.
