Born in Venice in 1955, Marco Nereo Rotelli lives and works in Milan and Paris.  He holds an MBA in Architecture.  For years Rotelli researched light and the poetic dimension, which Harald Szeemann has defined “an expansion of the artistic contest”.  Rotelli has created a solid relationship between art and other disciplines of knowledge for years.  He has illuminated major monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Musee du Petit Palais in paris, the Beijing Olympics and has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale numerous times.
​As a daily diary, Rotelli painted on small canvases in forgotten languages: Rapa Nui pictograms, Bushman graffiti, and Native American symbols reveal a world of figures and spells perceived by the artist among the shadowy areas of contemporaneity where they can withstand forgotten languages.
    We view this as a metaphor for female accomplishments that were unacknowledged through history, and are just beginning to gain recognition in daily life.
