Last year, I had the opportunity to visit Niki de Saint Phalle’s Tarot Garden in Capalbio, Italy. To be honest, I didn’t enjoy the park as much as I later enjoyed her exhibition. My introduction to the artist was through the Tarot Garden, and although the statues and overall concept were mesmerizing, I found myself unable to fully connect with it; it felt like it lacked a cohesive narrative. At that point, I wasn’t entirely sure about her motivations as an artist and struggled to engage with her vision. However, visiting her exhibition was a turning point. I was much more enthusiastic about her worldview and the deeper intentions behind her work. I was genuinely surprised by her awareness of social and environmental issues and how effectively she channeled these concerns into her art. Her ability to connect with viewers through vibrant and expressive works made me appreciate her as an impactful artist.
