"The Spaces in Between"
Susi’s art is a reflection of nature at its best, the direct and sometimes contrasting colours and the vivacity of her paintings give the caste’s ancient structure a new dynamic and vigour.
The castle has been since 15th century a place of inspiration, namely for Michelangelo, and is still today thanks to its light and essential style, a great stimulus for artists.
