I am delighted to share my participation in Whispers of the Grove, presented by Romulus Folio at The Gladstone, South Melbourne, opening 12 September - 28 September 2025. This exhibition invites visitors into a quiet, contemplative space, where art becomes a language for listening, to nature, memory, and the subtle threads that connect us.

This week I’ll be exhibiting at the Affordable Art Fair Melbourne with Romulus Folio Gallery. Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 29 August – 1 September 2025.

Last Saturday, August 23rd the walls of LeGrange Gallery came alive with the voices, visions, and power of 26 female artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and perspectives.

Friday night was the opening of my exhibition Embers at Romulus Folio Gallery. It was a beautiful evening surrounded by art collectors, fellow artists, Gladstone residents, friends, family, and the Romulus community. I felt deeply supported by Councillor Alex Makin from the City of Port Phillip and Kate Spenser from FBIdeas, whose presence meant a lot to me as I shared this body of work.

Inspired Her celebrates the creativity, resilience, and stories of women across cultures.

Embers is about what remains alive after everything that is not us, everything performative, protective, or imposed, has burned away. It’s about what flickers beneath the ash and what still glows, quiet but resolute, even after decades of darkness.

This Sunday marked the second session of my Writing for Wellbeing workshop series, and it felt deeply meaningful on many levels.

Friday night marked the opening of WINTER at Romulus Folio Gallery. While the season may have suggested hibernation, there was nothing cold about the night we shared.

There’s a reason I create constantly, instinctively, urgently.

As an Italian-Australian artist, my connection to culture isn’t through language or tradition, but through survival, resilience, and art. In this reflection, I share how my family’s migration story, and the myth of Romulus, inspired the foundation of the gallery and continue to shape the work I do today.

Last week we were at the Convention Centre for the Décor + Design Show. The month before that, we were there for the Design Show, same venue, completely different experience.

Romulus Folio Gallery | South Melbourne

This body of work emerged during the quieter months, when the light changes, and the days ask different questions.

Originally scheduled to finish at the end of June, my artist residency at Romulus Folio Gallery and The Gladstone/FBIdeas has been extended until September, a gift I don't take for granted.

At the end of June, I hosted the first of my Writing for Wellbeing workshops at Romulus Folio Gallery, a quiet, reflective gathering titled Tides & Transformations. Set within the stillness of winter and the soft glow of the gallery, this 90-minute session invited us to explore the cycles of change in our lives through the simple but powerful act of writing.

I showed selected works at the Melbourne Design Show June 12-14, and it was a strangely rich, exhausting, and clarifying experience.

The past week has been a powerful meeting point of art, design, and community.

Tides & Transformation is more than an exhibition inspired by the my residency at The Gladstone in Fishermans Bend—a place rich with industrial history, erosion, and renewal. This landscape, ever-changing and layered, became both my canvas and my muse.

There’s something quietly radical about letting colour guide you. Not theory, not technique — but colour as emotion, as sensation, as presence.

By Angelina Mirabito | Presented at Melbourne Design Week

Art and design live in conversation with each other—not as opposites, but interdependently in shaping how we feel in a space.

I am honoured to have a selection of pieces included in the official opening of the Creative Asia Art Centre, a new hub dedicated to celebrating artistic expression, cultural exchange, and creativity across the Asia-Pacific region.
