The artist:

Carla Horat, born in Basel on 7 December 1938, is a Swiss painter, engraver and sculptor with an artistic career that has developed mainly in Italy. After moving to Ticino at the age of five, she continued her studies in Verona, graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts G.B. Cignaroli. Since 1981 she has lived in Palermo, where she obtained the chair of Engraving Techniques at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Her artistic production is characterized by a deep sensitivity towards music, especially opera. This connection is clearly manifested in her book "Caro nome. Giuseppe Verdi", published in 2001, in which she explores the Verdi universe through a series of works that translate into images the emotions aroused by the compositions of the Italian master.

The connection between Carla Horat's visual art and opera materializes in a synergy between sound and color, where her pictorial creations become a sort of visual "song of bravura", capable of evoking the same emotions and atmospheres as operatic arias. This fusion of artistic languages ​​testifies to her deep understanding and appreciation for music, making her works a bridge between the visual and sound arts.
