Join us at Mark Jude Gallery for a special artist talk with Italian-born, Los Angeles-based painter Caterina Piccardo, whose practice blends classical composition with bold contemporary aesthetics. Piccardo’s large-scale works explore themes of identity, femininity, and environmental awareness, inviting viewers into a rich visual dialogue rooted in reflection and cultural transformation. As part of Mark Jude Gallery’s inaugural First Exhibition series, Piccardo will share insights into her artistic journey—from her early classical training in Italy to an evolving multidisciplinary practice shaped by her experience in both painting and film production design. Attendees will hear about her creative process, symbolic vocabulary, and the emotional narratives behind her latest pieces. The evening offers an intimate conversation on how personal history, visual storytelling, and contemporary issues converge in her work.
