From April 17 to April 23, 2026, Medina Art Gallery presents the solo exhibition The Cycle of Dragonflies by Serbian artist Aleksandra Stefanović, accompanied by the curatorial text by Ms. Lilly Randzio, at Via Merulana 220, Rome.
The opening event will take place on Friday, April 17, at 6:00 PM at Medina Art Gallery in Via Merulana 220.
With The Cycle of Dragonflies, Aleksandra Stefanović presents a body of work that unfolds as both an intimate confession and a universal reflection on transformation and inner awakening. Born in 1996 in Prokuplje, Serbia, the artist initially studied International Relations at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade before devoting herself entirely to painting. Her artistic practice developed as a personal search for identity and authenticity, gradually evolving into a distinctive and expressive visual language grounded in intuition and emotional depth.
The exhibition presents eighteen paintings from the Dragonfly Cycle, a project that combines painting and narrative elements to explore themes of personal transformation, vulnerability, freedom of choice, and emotional connection. At the center of this cycle stands the dragonfly, a symbol of transformation in many cultural traditions; in Stefanović’s work it becomes a metaphor for the process of self-discovery and the courage to embrace one's authentic self. The paintings on view were created during the past two years, a period the artist describes as one of profound personal transition. Through lyrical colour harmonies, fluid transitions,
and atmospheric compositions, Stefanović constructs dreamlike visual spaces in which water landscapes, flowers, and floating dragonflies evoke both serenity and introspection.
At Medina Art Gallery in Rome, The Cycle of Dragonflies unfolds as a poetic exploration of transformation, offering visitors an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the subtle movements of their inner world.
