The group exhibition *Shared Silences* brings together five artists to explore silence, intimacy, and the invisible resonances emerging from the dialogue between the artworks. Presented by Espace 22 from January 8 to 31, 2026, the exhibition offers a contemplative experience where diverse artistic practices meet and respond to one another in an atmosphere of restraint and depth.

Bénédicte Ansaud Born in Aix-en-Provence to Andalusian and Corsican parents, Bénédicte Ansaud grew up between Africa and Reunion Island. Her painting—primarily in oils—is guided by emotion and intuition. Created in the quiet of the night, her works reveal an intimate world shaped by cultural blending and creative solitude.

Arlette Lima Born in Brazil, Arlette Lima is a visual artist who has been living abroad since 2014. Based in Italy, she divides her time between Monte Carlo and the south of France. With a background in psychology, she has cultivated a distinctive artistic language from a young age. Her career began in 2015 with a debut solo exhibition in New York, followed by several international exhibitions in Canada, Monaco, and France. Her work, created entirely by hand, explores mixed media and modern abstraction, inviting a sensitive reflection on the relationship between color, texture, and emotion.

Florin Mihai Trained in photography at the Piatra Neamț School of Art, Florin Mihai develops a practice that blends photography with graphic composition. His monochrome works—enhanced with gold and silver leaf and punctuated by touches of red—establish a subtle dialogue between light, image, and emotion.

Caterina Reviglio Sonnino Born in Turin and based in Monaco, Caterina Reviglio Sonnino blends the art of living with artistic creation. Inspired by traditional Sèvres porcelain techniques and watercolor, her delicate, luminous painting explores color as a space of serenity, lightness, and tranquility.

Julia Jakonda Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and based in Cannes, Julia Jakonda is a stage and screen actress as well as a self-taught artist. Drawing—a practice she has pursued since childhood—lies at the heart of her creative process. She combines oils, acrylics, and specialized pencils to create works born of imagination and inner emotion, where brilliance and volume convey a sensitive, elegant perception of the world. Inspired by nature, people, and the beauty of the ordinary, her work invites intimate, poetic contemplation.
