Most won’t get this, but you will.
You don’t choose the art — the art chooses you.Every guest who enters our home says the same thing.
The room feels different. The atmosphere shifts.
There’s a pause… a quiet breath… a soft “wow.”That moment is why Arte Di Caponi exists.
We create art for people who feel it before they analyze it — for people who sense presence, energy, tone, and emotion the way others notice color or furniture.
If that’s you, you’re home. -

Who We Are
Arte Di Caponi is a small, private gallery built on vision and feeling.
I am Marlene Di Caponi, founder and curator.
My husband, artist Michael Di Caponi, creates the work you see here — pieces that lived on our own walls long before they lived online.Michael’s art carries atmosphere.
It changes a room the moment it enters it.
It creates spaces that feel calm, grounded, powerful, mysterious, or quietly awakened.My role is simple: to curate the collections, the presentation, and the experience — to ensure that what we release into the world reflects the same standard we keep in our own home.
Together, we’ve built a gallery that feels less like a shop and more like a sanctuary of mood, imagination, and visual storytelling.

For Those Who Feel Art Deeply
Arte Di Caponi is not for everyone — and that is intentional.
It is for those who sense art emotionally before they think about it.
For those who feel a room shift because of a single piece.
For those who want their home, office, or studio to carry a certain presence.If you’ve ever wished you could bring a memory home…
If you’ve ever wanted to preserve the feeling of a faraway place…
If you notice light, atmosphere, and tone the way most people notice décor…Then these collections were created for you.
Our art is meant to do more than hang on a wall.
It is meant to change the way a room feels —
and, quietly, the way you feel in it.

How We Think About Art
In our world, art isn’t an accessory.
It’s a presence.The right piece does not shout.
It resonates.
It softens.
It strengthens.
It awakens.Every collection begins with a feeling:
the hush of the Bahamas at sunset,
the golden stillness of Tuscan hills,
the mystery of distant coastlines,
the mythic inner worlds of goddesses,
the playful yet powerful spirit of our Cat Ladies.Michael brings these worlds to life.
I curate how they meet yours.If a piece doesn’t change the way a room feels,
it doesn’t belong in Arte Di Caponi. -

A Private Gallery, Open in Spirit
Most people experience Arte Di Caponi online —
yet the intention is the same as a physical gallery:A quiet, contemplative place
where the art speaks first
and everything else steps back.Our virtual gallery offers a glimpse into our personal collection —
a high-ceilinged room with floor-to-ceiling windows,
natural light, and art that breathes.Whether you encounter our work online or in person,
we want you to feel something familiar —
a sense of recognition,
a sense of “this belongs with me.” -

What Matters Most
Collectors visit the About page to decide whether they trust the vision behind the work.
If that’s you, here is what we want you to know:We do not release anything we wouldn’t proudly live with ourselves.
Michael creates from experience, memory, intuition, and imagination.
I curate with instinct, atmosphere, and the quiet belief
that the right art always finds the right collector.If something here has begun to follow you in your thoughts,
then the art has already chosen you.The rest is simply logistics.
Thank you for spending time with us —
for noticing what most people overlook,
and for letting our work step quietly into your world
even for a moment.— Marlene Di Caponi
