Clizia Zepparelli, born in 1986 in the artistic heart of Deruta, Italy, has forged a distinctive creative identity shaped by her passion for dance, theater, and painting. Her academic journey—rooted in the University of Pisa and refined through specialized training at the School of Artistic Ceramics of Perugia—sparked a multidisciplinary approach that weaves together motion, material, and meaning.
This fusion culminated in her groundbreaking project “Painting in Movement”, where the artist uses her body as the primary instrument of creation. Immersing herself physically and instinctively in the canvas, Zepparelli transforms gesture into pigment, movement into form. Her works have graced prominent cultural stages in Rome, Amsterdam, Paris (Louvre), Dubai, and South Korea, earning international acclaim for their dynamic interplay of gesture, texture, and symbolism. In Luxembourg, her contribution to the arts was recognized with a special mention, affirming her status as a contemporary visionary.
Beyond the gallery walls, Zepparelli’s commitment to art extends into social impact. As a mentor for young people with special needs, she guides them through creative processes that encourage inclusion, self-awareness, and personal growth—championing art as a universal language capable of transcending boundaries and fostering connection.
Echoes of the Soul: Myth, Body and the Art of Becoming
Her latest exhibition, Echoes of the Soul, is a deeply immersive exploration of human experience—an artistic dialogue between feminine energy, instinct, and self-awareness. Each work becomes an act of total embodiment, with Zepparelli serving as both creator and subject, pouring body, mind, and soul into the canvas.
Through a harmonious blend of body art, music, and action painting, the exhibition affirms the right of women to express themselves authentically while also reflecting the universal essence of humanity. Ancient Greek mythology serves as the foundation for these works, reinterpreted through the artist’s personal lens. Time-honored symbols are transformed into contemporary visual narratives—bridging tradition and modern identity—to create stories that resonate both individually and collectively.
Echoes of the Soul invites viewers to engage not just with the art, but with themselves: to recognize the beauty of their individuality, embrace their wholeness, and consider personal expression as an act of transformation. In Zepparelli’s world, art is not a static image—it is a living, breathing experience that connects myth and movement, the past and the present, the self and the collective.
