“Suspended Moments” is a solo exhibition by Beatrice Sartori. This collection of paper collages is an invitation to slow down, observe, and feel.
Each piece is a breath — a moment suspended between movement and stillness.
Through the play of cut-out forms, luminous colors, and dreamlike symbols, these works invite a gentle pause, a quiet contemplation.
Birds, hearts, bursts of light, flowers or butterflies become messengers of an inner world at peace — a space where the gaze can linger, and the heart can open.
These visual poems celebrate the beauty of the present moment — the one that escapes time and reconnects us to ourselves.

In a world in constant motion, my work offers a pause — a doorway into a suspended moment where the gaze can linger.
Through hand-cut, layered, and sculpted paper, I create visual narratives that evoke inner worlds, fleeting thoughts, and imagined futures.
From a verdant hillside blooming with smiles, to a bird savoring the morning dew, to a robot discovering the tenderness of nature, each scene captures a unique emotional rhythm. These snapshots invite the viewer to rediscover a gentler, more mindful connection to the world.
Whether it’s the quiet blossoming of a snowdrop ballerina, the rising tail of a whale at sunrise, or a rainbow-winged bird soaring beyond the clouds, my work is an invitation to slow down, to observe, to feel.
