Exhibitions
This page is dedicated to Cosima’s past exhibitions, offering a curated record of the works she has presented and the contexts in which they were shown. It serves as an evolving archive of her artistic journey, tracing the development of her practice through the exhibitions that have shaped it.
2025
In 2025, Cosima had the opportunity to exhibit five paintings from her Night Life Series in an all‑women group exhibition hosted by BankóNora. The multi‑day event attracted hundreds of visitors each day, giving the works a vibrant and sustained public presence.
2023
In mid‑January of 2023, Cosima was approached by Kim Gouault, the curator of Not a Gallery, with an invitation to exhibit her work at their esteemed space. A few days later, she joined a Zoom call with both Gouault and the gallery’s owner, Natacha Dassault, and the exhibition began to take shape.
By early May, Cosima had sent thirteen paintings from her Amalfi Coast Series to Paris, two of which were created specifically for the exhibition. The vernissage took place on the 1st of June and drew a large and lively attendance, marking a memorable opening for the show.
2022
Cosima was given the opportunity to exhibit a personal body of work known as The Bug Collection at an exhibition hosted by Organikka World at Canal Gallery in Barcelona. Four of her sculptural insects were installed throughout the space, creating a playful yet intricate presence within the gallery environment.

2018
Cosima decided late in her academic studies that she wanted to pursue art, and set out to create a piece that could both represent her and accompany her applications to art schools. Drawn to the idea of wearing her own story, she became fascinated by the kimono—particularly the subtle codes embedded in its construction, which historically signalled class, gender, and marital status. From this silk, she cut small squares that she would later use for transfer printing, allowing the garment to carry her narrative in both structure and surface.
Cosima photographed one hundred of the most significant objects in her life—ranging from a box of tampons to a bowl of spaghetti—and inverted selected images to heighten visual contrast. Using acetone, she transfer‑printed these photographs onto small silk squares, which she then hand‑sewed onto the kimono.
