Women in Louvre II - Women in Art

10. - 12. April 2026, Paris, Carrousell du Louvre

Yes, it is TRUE. In the Louvre. SHOW must GO ON.

I got a big invitation from Art Queens Gallery to present my paintings in Caroussel du Louvre. 
That's my theme: WOMEN in ART. I have painted serveral iconic female portraits through the years. From 'The Queen' until to Billie Eilish, Madonna, Rihanna, Missy Elliot and so on. I will continue my serie. In time am working on Nina Simone.

I like strong characters who change the world. It is so important.

Together we are 26 women from different countries and from 6 continents. I feel honoured to represent 'Women in Art' with my female portraits. It is was a well done compaine by Salma Eltoukhy in 'Les salles du carrousel: 99 rue de Rivoli - 75001 Paris (Stand B64)'.

Rezension of ART Queens Gallery, Curator Salma Eltoukhy

Limone has spent more than two decades refinining a portrait practice that is as much a statement about cultural energy and collective identity as it is an excercise in technical mastery. Based in Hannover, Germany, where since 2003 she has worked within the creative community of Studio 38 – a shared workspace of female painters whose mutual dialogue has enriched all their practices – Wolff has forgued a visual language marked by raw presence, chromatic intensity, and an unflinching engagement with her subjects.

Her self-description as a ‚freaky and punky portrait painter’ is not merely colourful self-promotion but an accurate account of an aesthetic philosohy. Wolff approaches portraiture not through idealising conventions of the tradition but through an energy that is deliberately disruptive, interested in the charismatic force of personalitiy rather than the formal properties of likeness alone. Her subjects are not composed for posterity; they are caught in the full power of their cultural moment.
Her portraits of Billie Eilish, Rihanna, and Missy Elliott exempflify this orientation with considerable impact. Each figure carries, within comtemporary culture, a significance that extends far beyond celebrity – they are artists whose work has genuinely reshaped the terms of musical and visual culture – and Wolffs canvas are alive to that significance. Rendered in acrylic format canvases of 80 by 80 centimetres, these works operate at a scale that matches the cultural presence of the subjects.

Within the collaboration and the environment of Studio 38, has continued to develop a practice that is both deeply individual and productively embedded in artistic community – a rare balance that has clearly enriched both her vision and her craft.
