At the Pavillon intermediate station, at 2,173 meters, artist Silvia De Bastiani's new exhibition, "White, the Lyrical Voice of Alpine Watercolor," opened.
The artist has interpreted the theme of the mountain and its elements with a sensitivity nourished by study, direct experience, and a personal, now fully recognizable, pictorial language.
Silvia has chosen watercolor as her sole means of expression, clearly demonstrating how this technique perfectly complements her understanding of painting "from life." Watercolor is, by its very nature, an intimate, immediate medium, deeply rooted in the elements.
This new exhibition space is born from a genuine sharing of values between the cable car and the painter: a love of the mountains, the search for light, and the listening of silence.
Silvia's section of the cable car conveys the effort of the ascent and the gratitude for what is discovered along the way. His watercolors do more than simply depict Mont Blanc: they inhabit it, observe it with respect, capture its fragility and power, translating each element—snow, rock, wind—into poetic vibrations.
Welcoming his art at altitude means opening a new space for contemplation, where nature and culture meet and dialogue.
This project reinforces the vision that guides the cable car: to make Mont Blanc not just a destination, but an inner experience, an invitation to look at the world with renewed eyes.
The exhibition is located on the lower ground floor of the Pavillon and is open to the public, included in the cable car ticket.
