It feels like opening a secret chest without knowing what treasure might lie inside: a glimmer of light on a golden canvas, the bold red of a pop artwork catching you off guard, or the elegant shadow of a glowing sculpture quietly observing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art director Alberto Marinelli welcomes you with a knowing smile: <em>\u201cFrom chaos are born the dancing stars,\u201d<\/em> he says, quoting Nietzsche. And suddenly, the space comes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Marinelli, chaos is not empty disorder but a fertile ground for life and possibility. That\u2019s why his gallery brings together metaphysics, Pop Art, hyperrealism, figuration, signed prints and posters\u2014everything coexisting freely, without imposed hierarchies. <em>\u201cI don\u2019t want to dictate a path,\u201d<\/em> he explains. <em>\u201cI want to offer visual sparks and let everyone create their own journey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He calls himself a \u201cgallerist by chance.\u201d Trained as an architect, he once sketched spaces and studied proportions. That discipline gave him a precious gift: the ability to read an environment and turn it into experience. A professional collaboration unexpectedly led him into the art world\u2014and what seemed at first a temporary detour became his life\u2019s road. Today, he sees himself not just as a dealer but as a bridge between artists and audiences, a facilitator of encounters, a storyteller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His first memory of art? Michelangelo\u2019s <em>Doni Tondo<\/em> at the Uffizi, seen as a restless child in long lines. An unpleasant experience, yet one that planted a seed: the desire to make art accessible, engaging, never intimidating. <em>\u201cNot trivial, but able to amaze without putting distance,\u201d<\/em> he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If forced to choose a single artist to exhibit forever, he might lean toward Damien Hirst\u2014the \u201crock star\u201d who can move from the delicacy of cherry blossoms to the brutality of sharks in formaldehyde. But in truth, the very idea of only one artist feels limiting to him. Art, for Marinelli, thrives on variety and the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visitors of <em>Arte \u00e8 Kaos<\/em> are just as diverse: seasoned collectors, investors, first-timers, the simply curious. <em>\u201cWhat I\u2019m looking for is curiosity\u2014the desire to be surprised, to find a companion for the journey you can hang on your wall.\u201d<\/em> Because for him, art is above all a motionless journey: a shift of the soul that can happen in front of a painting at home as much as in a museum halfway across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Marinelli sees the future in crossovers\u2014with design, hospitality, unconventional spaces. Fewer art fairs (<em>too repetitive, too noisy, the works get drowned out<\/em>), more projects that bring art closer to people: an artwork in a hotel lobby, an exhibition in a private home, an installation in an olive mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His advice to young artists is simple but uncompromising: study, live, make mistakes. <em>\u201cTechnique is vital, but without life it\u2019s sterile. Travel, read, love, hate. And don\u2019t give up\u2014this road is long, but full of rewards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alberto Marinelli doesn\u2019t just want to be a gallerist. With a touch of irony, he calls himself a \u201cprophet\u201d of a radical yet simple idea: art is not a luxury for the few, but nourishment for the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cFrom chaos are born the dancing stars,\u201d<\/em> he said at the beginning. As he closes the gallery door, his gaze lingers on that small universe. He smiles: tomorrow, chaos will dance again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with Alberto Marinelli Stepping into Arte \u00e8 Kaos in Alassio is not just entering a gallery.
