A_CIRCLE is a curated series of events created by Giulia Tamiazzo and Jakob Veigar based in Vienna and Reykjavik.
Art has the transformative power to inspire, heal, and connect us to ourselves and others. Yet, for many, contemporary art remains distant, confined to galleries or private collections, perceived as something that requires specialized knowledge to appreciate. Making art more accessible is our main mission, not just to democratize culture but to enhance well-being.
The intersection of contemporary art and wellness is a space rich with potential. Art invites introspection, stimulates the senses, and fosters emotional expression—all of which are vital for mental health. Integrating art into wellness practices, such as mindfulness and awareness practices can deepen these experiences. For example, engaging with abstract or thought-provoking art can help individuals explore complex emotions in a non-verbal way, offering an alternative to traditional therapeutic approaches.
We want to break down barriers, both physical and psychological. This will involve bringing art into public spaces, creating interactive installations and performances, or discovering alternative platforms to reach a wider audience.
After many years in both the Contemporary Art and Wellness industries, I've realized that it's time to bring these passions together. It feels like closing a circle in my life to open a new path, one that encompasses everything my heart is passionate about. My multidisciplinary background spans Business Administration, Contemporary Art, and Yoga and Mindfulness Practices, which have shaped my journey. Traveling and living in diverse places have been essential for my personal well-being and growth. Today, I am a wellness facilitator, a curator of meditation experiences, a yoga studio owner, and a proud mother of an amazing little being ready to curate exciting new projects in the realm of Contemporary Art.
Painting is my path into conception where everyday experience is observed, broken into the smallest particles and squirted back as the birth of a new creation. Memories wing their way into a parallel universe which, in this case, is called Jakob’s World and exists only within my perception. They are twisted and reconstructed until they burst together in an explosion. Spit back into this reality, they fuel the performance of putting paint on a canvas and an artwork is born, mirroring the world through an alcoholic mind. We witness parallel realities telling infinite truths about my impressions and opinions of society as well as the perceivable world.
