The kitchen area of Lo Studio Alto is made with a small sink, open white shelving, a white mini fridge, and a wooden dining table with two chairs in a room featuring stone arches and white walls.

Lo Studio Alto is a creative studio dedicated to multidisciplinary arts launched by Somewhere A Process in 2025 with the desire to provide to emerging artists a beautiful space of 80 sqm to live and to create, surrounded by an amazing architecture protected by the UNESCO, very close from the sea and totally disconnected from a world which runs pretty fast sometimes. Lo Studio Alto is located in Ortigia, the historical part of Siracuse in Sicily, in Italy.

The artist could stay 1 week at Lo Studio Alto. The only rule to follow is to leave one artwork in situ. The thematic of this artwork will have to be submitted before and validated by Somewhere A Process to fit with a global artistic direction for the venue. Depending on the artwork, this one could be presented on our E-Gallery an available for sale, made by order, after a residency. Our E-Gallery would open online in SS26.

Lo Studio Alto is open to welcome international graduated painters, designers, plastician artists, fashion designers, ceramists, wood makers and chefs.

This artists residency doesn’t include transportation costs, food, laundry and cleaning fees.

Lo Studio Alto will be open to public for arty and eco-tourism stays starting Spring 2026. Suscribe to our newsletter to get all updates and launching offers.

  • Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 2015 with honors, Azul Andrea is a plastician artist who studied in the Ann Veronica Janssens Studio.This half argentinian half hollandese artist draws inspiration from the following elements: light, space, water, wind, the universe, and the circle, this infinite line… Her compositions also arise from the encounter with matter, and the egg has become an ally in exploring the complexity of emotions and questioning our presence in the world. It evokes numerous images.The aim is, then, to bring light and color to something dead, something that no longer exists, to give it back its essential existence.The work of Claudia Llosa, Fausta, La teta asustada, and the short stories of Jorge Luis Borge, their infinities, their labyrinths, their mirrors.

  • Born in Bordeaux in 1988, Twotma is a French illustrator working with black China ink on white paper. Her style is recognisable for its bold, minimal and naïve brush stroke, inspired by everyday life —ordinary scenes, objects, animals, film or music references, anything that captures her attention in time. Her drawings aim to share an image that is gentle, slightly absurd, sometimes romantic or sarcastic, but always accessible and engaging. Through them, she invites people to remind themselves about pieces of their lives and celebrate the small details. It arrives that this artist turns her art into colorful paints, giving birth to faces and landscapes with an original vision of the world who surrounds her.

  • Jeanne-France Delage is a parisian ceramist who explores and navigates between contemporary art, architecture and design. Passionate about shapes and textures this artist is able to create a pure artwork whose the purpose will be able to turn it into a master piece of design. Besides her personal work Jeanne-France Delage loves to hand over her knowledge at Clay Atelier during ceramic classes. A place where she also learnt a lot, improving her savoir-faire. Jeanne-France Delage exhibits two Volcano lamps at Lo Studio Piccolo guest house in Ortigia, Sicily.
