When Roxana Gamarț opened Mobius Gallery in 2016 the art world in Romania was still emerging. Inspired to create an international platform that offers the public access to museum-qualities exhibitions and common ground between East and West, she built an opportunity to create a program that defines the gallery today—a vision determined high-quality exhibitions, advocating for a diverse and inclusive art scene.

ROMA ARTE IN NUVOLA 2021
Roman Tolici solo showMajor modern and contemporary art returns to Rome with “Roma Arte in Nuvola” from 18 to 21 November 2021, initially scheduled for mid-May 2020 and later canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The fair will be held in the beautiful setting of the Rome Convention Center “La Nuvola” a spectacular building recently designed by world renowned architect, Massimiliano Fuksas, to whom we owe the icon image of the fair.
An ambitious project that aims to fill a void on the Roman art scene and to become the reference hub for art collecting in Central and Southern Italy, thanks to the curatorship of art historian Kosme de Barañano, the art historian Adriana Polveroni and the direction of Alessandro Nicosia, an expert in the organization of cultural events for over 30 years.
Art Media will be represented, from painting to installations, from sculpture to the performing arts, from video-art to digital art, as well as street-art, bringing together the most important and renowned Italian and international galleries.Roman Tolici is associated with a photographic realism infused by poetry and a surreal sense of everyday existence. His paintings seem to be details of a monumental story related to the general human questions and anxieties. This narrative force turns the recurrent subjects into never-ending chapters and the reflections of everyday life into projections about time, memory and traces captured by the artist's tender perception.

representatives from art history. The artist has the freedom to chose his/her favorite period from the art history and is encouraged to build up the discourse in a personal, subjective key.
ArtSavvy with Irina Moreno, MA in Contemporary Art, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London - a series of lectures that zoom in on the mechanisms at play in the art market with
