**Carovigno, from August 20 to 31: The exhibition 'Inner Light' by Giuseppe Colucci at the Dentice di Frasso Castle**

Carovigno (BR) - From Wednesday, August 20, until Sunday, August 31, the Dentice di Frasso Castle will host the exhibition "Inner Light." Curated by Maria Conserva Colucci, this showcase will celebrate the work of Giuseppe Colucci, an artist originally from Ostuni, born on February 19, 1960, and who passed away in Carovigno on August 20, 2024. The exhibition's opening will take place on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, starting at 8:00 PM.

The opening hours are structured to ensure access for everyone: from Tuesday to Friday, the exhibition will be open from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM and from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM; on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, it will be open from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Admission is free, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the beauty of Colucci’s works.

Giuseppe Colucci is described as a sophisticated messenger of pictorial stories that fascinate and engage. His works offer unique representations of nude female bodies, placed in abstract spaces that seem outside of time and history. This dreamlike dimension becomes a prelude to a new bodily harmony, the result of a skillful use of light and chiaroscuro. Colucci manages to exalt the surfaces of the epidermis, exploring surreal symbolism that opens up infinite experimental possibilities.

His art is an invitation to discover the luminous, pure, and vital part of our contemporary existence. The women, faces, and bodies emerging from his works are not just images but reflections of spirit and emotions. Every posture becomes a message, every expression a call to intimacy and connection. The portrayed faces may seem to come from a fashion show or evoke memories of past eras, transforming appearance into an innovative and profound aesthetic language.

Colucci knows how to combine elements of photography and artistic spirituality, creating works that reveal hidden forms. His innovation lies in how he approaches the female figure, placing it in a new light, far from traditional and male-centric interpretations. The women populating his canvases are embodiments of eternal beauty and strength, never vulgar, even in their nudity; they are beings that emanate an inner light capable of evoking feelings of love and sweet nostalgia.

He has received numerous accolades, including appreciations from illustrious names such as Vittorio Sgarbi and Philippe Daverio, and has sparked the interest of art critics like Paolo Levi and Giammarco Puntelli. The "Inner Light" exhibition is not just a celebration of Colucci's work, but an opportunity to reflect on the message of love and respect towards women, which must find space and recognition in our society. Spectators are invited to discover this union of art and life, in an experience that promises to illuminate the heart and mind.
