Book your dream

More than a guesthouse, Stone Oven House is a living, evolving artist residency. Since 2017, we’ve welcomed visual artists, musicians, performers, writers, and filmmakers from around the world through our Artist-in-Residence programs and creative retreats.

Over the years, these collaborations have led to a growing collection of artworks, permanently integrated into both the interiors and the outdoor spaces of the property. Each room and corner of the house reflects a unique creative imprint — not just as decoration, but as part of the ongoing artistic dialogue we foster here.

While this page cannot feature every artist, their presence is felt throughout the house and its grounds: in the rooms, studios, forest paths, and exhibition spaces, as well as in our archives and storage collections.

You’ll find installations and sculptures in the outdoor park by artists such as Simon Lambrey, Manfred Kronenthaler, Lorenzo Gnata and the Weaverbirds Collective. Indoors, works by Natalya Zaloznaya, Andrey Bilzho, Alessandro Sciaraffa, Cynthia Fusillo, Daniele Galliano, Dragoljub Stankovikj, Darya Yurishcheva, Zoya Pilipenko, Ivan Maximov, Julia Belova, Katya Kabalina, Marc Mandril Ferrario, Maximilano Siñani, Anne Boscher, Antonella Di Dedda, Charlee Sodprasert, Stefano Giorgi, Marina Skepner, Sergei Prokofiev, Ida Simone and Vanja Vukovic can be discovered throughout the spaces.

Simon 
Lambrey:
Le repos 
des vents

Among the artworks shaping the atmosphere of Stone Oven House, Simon Lambrey’s installation series Le repos des vents (English: Wind’s Rest) holds a special place. Lambrey, a French artist whose practice fuses drawing, installation and psychological space, developed these works in 2021.

The installations, part of his ongoing “medium / space” explorations, explore the relationship between body, space and stillness. While the original series is composed of acrylic-on-canvas work, Lambrey’s ethos and practice also include installations that inhabit natural sites. At Stone Oven House, his works are integrated both in the indoor collection and the outdoor environment, inviting guests to experience art not as a passive display but as part of the land itself.

In the wooded clearings of our terrain, you’ll find pieces inspired by Wind’s Rest — subtle forms, material echoes of motion slowed, placed amid trees and meadow. Inside the studio spaces and common rooms, smaller works by Lambrey are part of the residency collection, offering visitors the opportunity to explore different facets of his work.

Lev
Nikitin:
The art of presence, memory,
and transformation.

Tucked into the foothills of the Cottian Alps, the small village of Rorà sits on a sunny slope in the Val Pellice, a remote and beautiful valley in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Though seemingly modest and quiet, this valley holds centuries of rich, complex, and often dramatic history. It is the heartland of the Waldensian movement—one of the oldest surviving non-Catholic Christian traditions in Europe—and a land where stories of resistance, faith, resilience, and coexistence are carved into every stone.

The Stone Oven House collection includes several striking works by Lev Nikitin: monumental paintings on rusted metal sheets, delicate graphic drawings, canvases, and photographs. Scattered across the house and its grounds, these pieces reflect a deep dialogue with place, time, and the tension between permanence and impermanence.

One of his most significant contributions is the three-part project “Scotoma. Sacred Place”, a layered exploration of how a space becomes meaningful. It began as a street performance in Turin, continued with a site-specific intervention in the wild forest surrounding Stone Oven House, and concluded with an indoor exhibition that tied the physical and emotional journey together.

Through this project, Nikitin invited us to peel back the visible surface of our surroundings — to open blind spots, connect, and activate the sacred potential of a place.
In October 2023, he also presented the solo exhibition “Umano / Non Umano” at Casa col Forno, merging video, sculpture, and performance to examine what it means to be human in a time of accelerating change — both societal and personal.

Lev Nikitin, born in Kazakhstan, lived and worked in Russia until he was forced to flee due to the risk of persecution for his political beliefs. From 2022 to 2023, he lived and worked at Stone Oven House as an emergency resident artist. He has since been granted political asylum in Italy, where he continues his multidisciplinary practice. His works remain among the most emotionally and conceptually resonant pieces in our permanent collection.

Natalya
Zaloznaya:
Trapped in porcelain
dreams

A series of powerful, contemplative paintings by Natalia Zaloznaya is permanently displayed in one of the rooms at Stone Oven House. These works demonstrate her exceptional mastery of color and composition, revealing layers of thought and emotion beneath each brushstroke. With precision and poetic restraint, Zaloznaya creates a visual language that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

A series of powerful, contemplative paintings by Natalia Zaloznaya is permanently displayed in one of the rooms at Stone Oven House. These works demonstrate her exceptional mastery of color and composition, revealing layers of thought and emotion beneath each brushstroke. With precision and poetic restraint, Zaloznaya creates a visual language that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

The series speaks of time not as chronology, but as presence: what remains, what vanishes, and what we carry forward without knowing. In Zaloznaya’s canvases, there is no narrative, no need to decipher — only space to feel.

Natalya Zaloznaya is a Belarusian-born artist whose works have been shown in museums and galleries across Europe and the United States. Trained in the classical traditions of painting and monumental art, she has long since departed from representation, developing a language that is both intimate and archetypal. Her paintings speak with restraint, but never indifference; they draw from memory, loss, landscape, and the metaphysics of light.

Zaloznaya joined us at Stone Oven House in a quiet moment between exhibitions, and the valley seemed to resonate with her rhythm. The works she left behind continue to shape the atmosphere here — not as decoration, but as quiet anchors for reflection.



People come here not only to rest, but to recharge — to reconnect with themselves and with others. Beyond the exhibitions and installations, the house holds quiet traces of its residents: books signed by visiting writers, sketches left behind in studio drawers, music born in long evenings by the fire. Each guest adds something — a thought, a gesture, a memory — becoming part of a place that keeps evolving with every arrival.

Sleep where art lives. Your stay becomes part of the exhibition.
