The Marilena Ferrari-FMR Art House creates contemporary works of art that are unique or produced in limited editions, inspired by the great themes and values of humanity.

These works of art are the result of the creativity and combined effort of some of the leading interpreters of contemporary art - painters, sculptors and photographers - and of some of the most important masters and heirs of the art of fine Italian craftsmanship that together find ideal, concrete expression in book form.

More precisely, the Marilena Ferrari-FMR Art House is inspired by the conviction that art, today as in the past, is a place where the values and identity of a society and a culture find their home; a place in which to develop and question themselves, to act on lives and intellects, producing change and development.

This is why, in planning its works, the Art House always begins by choosing a theme connected to a value that it believes to be particularly important and urgent for today's society. 

The choice of the theme is followed by identifying an essential text that embodies it to the full. A master of contemporary art - whether a painter, sculptor or photographer - is invited to make his or her own reflection on this text. The artist's intuition takes shape thanks to the greatest interpreters of fine Italian craftsmanship: printers, binders, engravers, master craftsmen in paper, leather, wood, marble, ceramics, glass, fabrics and precious metal.

This partnership is a central part of the Art House's philosophy, as it firmly believes in the unity and parity of esteem between the high and applied arts, in the unity between artist and master craftsman, between thought and action and between intellectual knowledge and manual intelligence.
This combination is epitomised by the creation of a book, because we believe that the book represents a microcosm in which you can read the whole cosmos of human civilisation, founded on an ancient and shared concept of beauty.
The form of the book also allows artists and master craftsmen to express themselves with a range of materials and techniques that extend the ability of art to narrate through images.
In turn, the public that admires it can immerse itself in a truly multi-sensorial artistic experience.
