"Each time we open a box, we are curious to see the surprise it contains.
Each time we open one of Marialuisa Sponga's boxes that feeling changes nature: it is keener, and stronger. The surprise in these cases is always a certainty: the certainty of being fascinated by her creations. And this is what we like about her. We met Marialuisa at one of the Miniartextil exhibitions which we organise and are responsible for each year, and we were able to appreciate, besides a brilliant artist, also an outstanding woman, an artist who can imbue both her large and small-scale works with harmony, colours, and warmth which are typical of her being. Hence, for years, Marialuisa has been delighting us with her small-scale works, created especially for our displays, works which we consider real jewels, rare jewels, so small and delicate, so fragile, but at the same time endowed with a particular strength: her strength. Marialuisa: an engrossing woman, a lover of beauty in all of her expressions."
