DiVinArte” is an eno-cultural event that takes place through a journey inside the Rocca dei Borgia (Vt). The event of which the artist Simona Benedetti is president, curator and creator is entirely dedicated to the valorization of contemporary art and wine placed in its broader historical, cultural and artistic context. The route was animated by the presence of artists of various kinds, such as painters, photographers, dancers and professional musicians who perform and entice the tourist to continue the route with their performances.
The 2024 event took place on 5 and 6 October 2024 “Frida between Art and Revolution. Beyond pain...colour” was dedicated to one of the most important painters of Mexican origin of the 20th century in the seventieth year of her death: Frida Kahlo. A painter who has now become an icon of the 20th century for her courageous and non-conformist lifestyle; with his works he will forever revolutionize Mexican popular art and beyond.
DiVinArte has gone beyond the commercialized figure that our era highlights, leaving room for the understanding and great sensitivity of soul that the works of this great painter convey; a soul that rebels and becomes a revolution in pain.
"Not like someone who wins, but like someone who never gives up" knowing how to transform pain into art or communicating introspection... what emerges from the soul. The revolutionary strength of a woman who was able to convey the true meaning of life despite the many difficulties. An icon that represents each of us, which goes beyond the human race. Frida is man, she is woman, Frida is soul. "I still see horizons where you draw boundaries". Knowing how to go beyond the sensitive world and make it visible through painting. Living in color despite the gray of human existence...fighting against everything and everyone. Many of the artists who have accepted the challenge have created notable and meaningful works. Among installations, exhibitions and performances, homage was paid to the life and to this great artist. Long live life!
