Circe the Enchantress at Rest
Works
Monica Capriotti
Pictorial and material works for villas, hotels, boutiques, restaurants and yachts: I give soul to places and heighten their identity.
Giving soul to a place, heightening its identity and making it impossible to forget.
Featured works
Circe, the arches, Porto Cervo, the bay, Vesuvius. Five plates from the book: the rest of the collection is in the gallery.
03 It is there that I recognise my language, my feeling, the truest part of me.
My collection is born of nature, because nature is where truth lives: an authentic, vital force without artifice.
From concept to placing
Every project follows the same breath: decide where the light will fall, set the line, paint, build the matter, place it in the space.
- 01
Concept
A few pencil lines decide the coastline and where the sun will settle. Before colour, the place.
- 02
Sketch
Watercolours, pastels and a plate of matter share the table. The gesture returns to the same wave until the mark holds.
- 03
Work
The original on paper: the sea is already there, the surface still soft. From here the work can move onto ceramic.
- 04
Matter
Paste is spread by hand and becomes foam, sand, wall. The picture starts to rise off the sheet.
- 05
Placing
The panel finds its wall. The room, the niche or the terrace become part of the work, and the work part of the space.
Four materials, one dialogue with space
Ceramic, canvas, Chromaluxe and wood: four supports in dialogue with architecture. Each work chooses the matter it wants to live in.
Ceramic
Panels and tiles that hold the light, even outdoors. The glossy surface returns the water as if it were still wet.
Canvas
The classic support, when a work asks for softness and depth. Meant for interiors and for formats that need to breathe.
Chromaluxe
Print on aluminium: sharpness, durability and a slim body, suited to onboard spaces, corridors and walls that cannot take weight.
Wood
Warmth and visible grain. A support that speaks to beams, pergolas and Mediterranean interiors without needing a frame.
Who it is for
The works speak with the spaces that receive them. Some images show real installations; others are spatial visions, to imagine how a work might live in a villa, a hotel, a yacht.

Hi, I’m Monica
Painting is my greatest passion. After an academic education in Interior & Exterior Design, my artistic path led me to create highly personalised mural works.
In every work, art merges with the colours of the reality that surrounds us, to give soul to a place and heighten its identity.
