Each December, Art Miami anchors the city’s broader Art Week as one of the longest-running and most established contemporary art fairs in the United States. Bringing together leading international galleries, collectors, curators, and artists, the fair serves as a focal point for global exchange, setting the tone for a week defined by discovery, dialogue, and cultural cross-pollination.
Miami Art Week 2025 unfolded as a defining moment for Liquid Art System, as the gallery transformed its presence across Art Miami and CONTEXT into one of the week’s most immersive and highly talked-about experiences. With roots spanning Capri, Positano, Ravello, and Miami, the gallery arrived with a curatorial vision that felt refined, emotional, and unmistakably international, bridging European elegance with Miami’s cultural energy.
From the opening days, the booths became destinations rather than brief stops. Visitors gathered not only to view works but to linger, engaging in conversations that reflected a genuine curiosity for the artists and narratives presented. This sense of connection became a central theme of the week, reinforcing Liquid Art System’s reputation for creating environments where art exists beyond the wall.
Several works emerged as focal points of attention. Paintings by Roberto Ferri consistently captured the attention of audiences, while Antonio Sannino’s Hanami series offered a luminous and contemplative counterpoint. The hyper-realistic wooden sculptures of Peter Demetz invited quiet reflection, while wall sculptures by Stefania Vichi and the enigmatic canvases of Federica Poletti were among the fair’s most discussed contemporary proposals.
Among the artists featured, Roberto Ferri’s work stood out particularly for its technical mastery and emotional depth. Known for his contemporary reinterpretation of classical figurative painting, Ferri bridges Renaissance-inspired technique with a modern sensibility. His compositions, marked by dramatic chiaroscuro and sculptural precision, invited viewers to slow down and engage with the emotional intensity embedded in each piece, reinforcing Liquid Art System’s commitment to work that balances historical depth with contemporary relevance.
Art Miami and CONTEXT are not simply exhibitions, notes gallery founder Franco Senesi. They are living ecosystems, spaces where encounters unfold naturally and relationships begin. This year, we felt a strong sense of openness from the public, a desire to engage deeply with the artists and with our vision.
At Art Miami, Liquid Art System occupied a one hundred square meter booth, while CONTEXT hosted an expansive one hundred fifty square meter presentation. The latter included an intimate installation by Simone Benedetto inspired by the animal world. Across both fairs, the gallery presented an accomplished roster of artists alongside emerging voices, creating a dialogue between established mastery and contemporary exploration.
As day turned to night, the gallery’s Miami space evolved into a sensory destination of its own. A series of Sound Experiences titled The Art of Sound, The Sound of Art, transformed the venue into a shared cultural environment where art and music coexisted seamlessly.
Special appearances and surprise performances enhanced the atmosphere throughout the week, reinforcing Liquid Art System’s ability to curate moments that extended beyond the expected boundaries of a traditional art fair.
The goal was to bring the spirit of Capri, its elegance, beauty, and energy, into the heart of Miami Art Week, Senesi adds. At the same time, we are strengthening the cultural dialogue between Italy and the United States. This year reaffirmed that this exchange is not only alive but deeply welcomed.
As Miami Art Week came to a close, Liquid Art System’s presence stood as a reflection of what thoughtful curation can achieve when guided by intention rather than spectacle. Through its artists, installations, and immersive programming, the gallery created a space where conversation, reflection, and connection took precedence. In doing so, it reaffirmed its role as a cultural bridge between continents, one that continues to evolve, carrying the dialogue forward beyond the fair and into the seasons ahead.
