"Oblivion" Opens in Milan, the Multi-Sensory Exhibition that Fades Away Like a Memory.
AI-Generated "Goddesses", Indian Music,
and Artistic Fragrances in the New Experience
by Daniel Salvi, Curated by Greta Zuccali.
MILAN – From May 10 to 31, the Corals Gallery (Via Evangelista Torricelli 21) is hosting “Goddesses & Muses, Oblivion,” the latest chapter in the multi-sensory experience by artist Daniel Salvi, renowned for pairing his depictions of goddesses and muses, created also with AI, with artistic fragrances.
The new exhibition, curated by Greta Zuccali, centers on the theme of Oblivion inspired by Nietzsche, who believed in liberation from tormented memories to resolve the past and focus on the present.
In line with this vision, the “Oblivion” exhibition ideally fades with the passing days, offering visitors a different impact and significance with each new visit.
For this occasion, Salvi has displayed his most famous artworks alongside 60 new digital works, and he has brought together the artistic expressions of great artists from around the world: starting with the original soundtrack composed by the group “Equani,” led by the visionary Indian musician Amey Phadke, specializing in Sound Healing, to the new original fragrance created by perfumer Riccardo Barazzetta, a Milanese native now based in Luxembourg.
The result is an experience that engages the senses and invites visitors to a moment of deep introspection as they encounter the solemn eyes of “The Sanctification of Memory,” Salvi’s luminous new cover goddess, reigning at the center of the “Sancta Sanctorum” specially set up in the gallery.
The Artist reveals: ”Each year is like a rebirth: we change cells, thoughts, hopes. We are never the same as before. This is why we must use our past experiences as a reason for growth, without being victims of them: Oblivion is about this rite of passage that we all must undergo."

THE ARTIST, DANIEL SALVI (Italy, 1994 –)
Artist and graphic designer Daniel Salvi opened his own advertising agency at the age of 21, creating international campaigns for Europe, Latin America, and China.
After graduating from the Politecnico Milan University, he became in 2018 the assistant and direct student of the famous designer Armando Milani, under whose artistic direction he organized the "Ubuntu" exhibition at the MUBA Museum in Milan: here, some of his works were displayed alongside those of Milton Glaser and Massimo Vignelli.
From that same year, he was called upon as a guest lecturer at major universities in Milan and worked as a public speaker.
From 2021, he became the Brand Communication Officer for the international association "Colors for Peace," with which he created an awareness campaign that facilitated the shipment of 21 trucks of humanitarian aid at the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
With the association, he participated in exhibitions organized at the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and the Italian Government.
Starting in 2023, he began the series of "Goddesses and Muses" through which he explores the depth of human nature, in what he considers its purest, most vital, and universal expression: the feminine.

AN ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BY EQUANI AND THE VISIONARY INDIAN ARTIST AMEY PHADKE
Equani emerged in Hamburg, Germany in 2021 under the guidance of the Indian Artist Amey Phadke, a dedicated sound meditation artist playing the Handpan (432 Hz), Ravvast tongue drum, Tabla, and an array of percussions and sound healing instruments.
The initiative is driven by a vision to transform the world through frequency meditation and positive intentions.
Since its inception, Amey has generously shared his transformative experiences and profound insights into sound meditation with communities across Europe and Asia through hosting immersive sound bath meditation events. Connect with Amey on Instagram: @equani_ap
To craft the evocative soundtrack of the exhibition, Equani teamed up with Artyom Hvans, a versatile multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and a regular collaborator of Equani. For the soundtrack Artyom played the Tanpura. This collaborative piece reflects their shared dedication to harnessing the power of sound for healing and transcendence.

HOW DOES A GODDESS COME TO LIFE?
When Daniel Salvi shapes the raw material coming from artificial intelligence and photography into an art that deeply talks about humanity and feelings, then a Goddess comes to life.
They are beings who - while remaining imperfect - stand out as the center of their respective universes. They invite us to get to know them, but in reality what happens is that, in meeting them, all we do is get to know ourselves a little better.
Their eyes looking at us ask us questions that transcend the facade of reality that we have built with difficulty and that look at our real being. The invitation of the artist is to take the needed time to reach the answers.
Every meeting is special, immerse in the here and in the present moment: that's why – like for traditional paintings – almost every piece of Daniel Salvi is in a single copy.
