Greta Ferretti: L’Ambrosia purpurea

The title evokes ambrosia, the nectar of the gods which, in ancient tradition, sustains immortality. Taking this image as its starting point, the exhibition explores themes of permanence and transformation through a narrative shaped by returns and recurrences. Ferretti’s painting unfolds as an inner landscape, drawing on a personal repertoire of circumstances, real and imaginary places, people and destinies. Within a dreamlike and at times enigmatic dimension, seemingly distant elements come together, giving rise to a private mythology in which memory and imagination continually overlap.

These worlds never fully reveal themselves: figures, images and stories emerge as suspended presences, only to dissolve and reappear in new configurations. L’Ambrosia purpurea thus presents a universe in constant transformation, in which images and narratives continually take on new forms.
