“Lady and Knight of Art” 2025 Honoring Artistic and Cultural Contribution

Fondazione Costanza, Carini, Palermo, Italy

In July 2025, I was deeply honored to receive the Lady and Knight of Art Award from Fondazione Costanza in recognition of my contribution to contemporary art and culture.

The award ceremony took place in Carini, Palermo, Italy, at the Oleificio Failla, in the presence of journalists, photographers, and cultural representatives. Presented by Dr. Alessandro Costanza, President of the Foundation, this distinction celebrates artists whose work reflects excellence, originality, and devotion to the advancement of art.

My series The Era Clockmakers was selected as the artistic focus for this honor — a body of work that explores time, memory, and creation as parallel dimensions within human experience.

The event reaffirmed my belief that art is a living bridge between heritage and innovation, uniting diverse voices under the timeless pursuit of beauty and truth.
