Christina Oiticica presents in Italy work transformed by the waters of Lake Maggiore

Público14 September 2026 at 08:40

Christina Oiticica presents in Italy a work that underwent an unusual transformation. The artist submerged the canvas called Mamã Muxima in the waters of Lake Maggiore for three months.

The inspiration for this intervention came from a dream the artist had. The submersion process was part of an artistic project that significantly altered the appearance of the work.

The transformed canvas now integrates the exhibition When Heaven Invades Earth. The show is on display in the city of Verbania, in Italy.

This project combines elements of contemporary art and natural intervention, using the aquatic environment itself as part of the artist's creative process.

Why this matters

Christina Oiticica's work represents a fusion between art and nature, demonstrating how natural elements can creatively transform an artistic work. The exhibition in Verbania offers Italian spectators and international visitors the opportunity to witness this unique artistic intervention on Lake Maggiore.
