Esposizione "Crëps" by Riccarda de Eccher
Riccarda de Eccher (1954) was born in Bolzano, but at the age of ten her family moved to Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Her longing for the mountains drove her, at the age of eighteen, to enroll in a rock climbing course, and she began to frequent both the Carnic and Julian Alps as well as her beloved Dolomites.
For a decade she devoted herself to climbing, repeating rock routes up to the sixth grade of difficulty, opening new routes, and participating in expeditions outside Europe. In her mature years, she turned to painting, using the watercolor technique and choosing the mountain as her subject. In Riccarda de Eccher's works, the Alps—and especially the Dolomites—become the protagonists in paintings that, by the nature of the technique, we are used to admiring in small formats, but in her work, they expand over the surface of the canvas to completely engage the viewer in their visual space.
In 2006, she exhibited for the first time at the Sovilla Bookstore in Cortina. This was followed by various exhibitions in Europe (Italy, France, England, Slovenia) and in the United States. She published small books, the result of collaborations with writers, and divides her time between Italy and the United States.
Open every day except Monday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
