“宇宙的基本规则之一是，没有什么是完美的。

如果没有不完美，你我都不会存在。”——斯蒂芬·霍金

“One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect.

Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.” – Stephen Hawking

KALPA画廊是一处致力于艺术和创意表达的天堂，是一个艺术、自然和体验结合的胜地。KALPA由艺术家兼设计师Olga Niescier于2019年在托斯卡纳古镇Volterra创立，这里有着丰富的Etruscan文明和令人惊叹的广阔的野生的环境。KALPA的成立提供了一个能够身临其境艺术体验的空间，在这里可以激发游客探索、反思和与内在自我进行沟通。

As an authentic haven dedicated to art and creative expression, KALPA Gallery envisions a destination where art, nature and the human experience converge. Founded in 2019 by artist and designer Olga Niescier in the ancient town of Volterra, Tuscany, where the richness of the Etruscan civilisation equals the incredible vastness of wild nature, KALPA creates an immersive and ever-evolving art experience that inspires visitors to explore, reflect, and connect with the inner self.

KALPA的历史场地选择在了15世纪的Palazzo Bonomini宫殿，这里有着优雅的氛围、温暖的中性色调和无处不在的诧寂之感，不断歌颂着不完美之美与生命的短暂。这里为游客提供了一个感受艺术的避难所，开创了真实的、以艺术为主导的环境，设计与展出的作品优雅地产生共鸣，令游客既能感受到家一般的氛围，又有身处永恒之地的奇妙感觉。从过去到现在，时间的流逝和当代艺术中那些未被发现的痕迹在画廊中共存。在KALPA的展厅中展开了一场亲密切令人反思的旅程，建筑线条在其中和谐交汇，将两层空间相结合。

KALPA’s historical venue in the XV-century Palazzo Bonomini conjures an elegant atmosphere of warm neutral tones and all-encompassing wabi-sabi sensibility, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and the transience of life. Conceived as a sanctuary inviting visitors into an art-exclusive experience, the Gallery pioneers authentic and art-led living environments, designed to resonate elegantly with the exhibited works to give the visitor both the feeling of a home and the wonder of being in a timeless place. The past and the present, uncovered traces left by the passage of time and contemporary art research, coexist side by side within the Gallery. KALPA’s exhibition rooms unfold as an intimate and meditative journey punctuated by harmonious intersections of architectural lines to evoke a feeling of spatial continuity throughout its two floors.

在过去的五年中，为了遵循艺术总监Olga Niescier的愿景，画廊一直致力于修复这个场地，在保护建筑内原有隔断结构的前提下，对内部空间进行全面翻新，对古老的墙壁进行修复，呈现出壁龛和壁画，还有隐藏在建筑中的秘密。Palazzo Bonomini的修复采用了来自当地的石材和天然材料，并采用了“探索-整合”的方法来保护墙壁的原有纹理，由托斯卡纳修复师Cristiano Sabelli巧妙地实现。在保护历史墙面健康的同时，KALPA还采用了MATTEOBRIONI生土饰面，这种材质有着柔软温暖的触感，具有可持续性。

During the last five years, the Gallery has been engaging in a major project of restoration of the entire premises, following the vision of art director Olga Niescier. Intent on safeguarding the original partitions within the building, the restoration project encompassed the comprehensive reorganisation of the interior spaces along with the unveiling of ancient walls, niches and frescos, secrets and whispers hidden within the architecture. The Palazzo Bonomini restoration project was informed by the thoughtful use of local stone and natural materials, along with an approach of ‘discover-and-integrate’ to the conservation of the wall textures, skillfully undertaken by the Tuscan restorer Cristiano Sabelli. While protecting the healthiness of the historical surfaces, KALPA also chose to incorporate MATTEOBRIONI raw-earth finishes, which are soft and warm to the touch, and sustainable for the planet.

翻修过的室内空间充满了生机，国际的和来自当地的创意和艺术再次相遇。这间位于Volterra古镇的艺术画廊致力于加深对创意表达的理解和欣赏，同时向当地丰富的文化和自然遗产致敬。KALPA鼓励当地创作，并 提供多学科交互的展览平台，以实现拥抱艺术、与之和谐共处的愿景。KALPA与来自不同文化背景和学科、新兴产业和成熟的国际艺术家进行合作，欢迎有机的形式、珍贵的技术和杰出的技能。这里的艺术藏品能够唤起一种亲密的情感、对自然的欣赏以及对不规则和不完美的赞扬，每件展出的作品都有着极简主义和非完美主义的特征，这也是画廊的一种本能的、脚踏实地的理念风格。

The interiors are spaces of vibrant atmospheres, where international and Tuscan creative experiences are invited to interweave. As an art gallery in the ancient town of Volterra, KALPA is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of creative expression while paying homage to the town’s rich cultural and natural heritage. By providing a platform for multidisciplinary exhibitions, the Gallery encourages contemporary creation, embracing a vision for a life in harmony with art. KALPA collaborates with emerging and established international artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and disciplines, welcoming organic forms, precious techniques, and outstanding skills. The overall art collection evokes a sense of emotional intimacy, appreciation for natural processes, and an inclination towards the characteristics of irregularity and imperfection. Resonating with the Gallery’s core values, each exhibited artwork embeds concepts of minimalism and non-finito, together with an instinctive, earthbound approach to creation.
