In 2022, Sofia Stevi and Giacomo Mercuriali spent some time in Venice, Italy. 'Every painting paints itself' is a painted poem that unfolds a history of affects that rose from four eyes encountering each other; in between the streets, the churches, the vistas and the canals of the immortal mirror city. Contradicting the Renaissance adagio that holds that “every artist paints himself”, the artists claim the primacy of forms over the subjects they transform. Pen and ink, words, generative algorithm.

Sofia Stevi is an artist living in Athens, Greece. Giacomo Mercuriali is an artist living in Milan, Italy.
