In these drawings I wanted to explore the boundary between reality and abstraction, between order and chaos, between structure and freedom. The city is not only a physical space, but a dimension of the soul, a place where past and future meet — here it breaks apart into cosmic piazzas, suspended planets, metaphysical spaces where geometry dissolves into dream.
Alien Landscape. 2025. Virtual painting.
The city is a living organism, made of forms, colours and structures that converse with one another in an ever-shifting balance. In Italy, the urban landscape is the result of centuries of history, art and culture — an interweaving of eras and influences reflected in its architecture and its piazzas. The city is not only a physical space, but a dimension of the soul, a place where past and future meet. In these twelve drawings, I wanted to explore the boundary between reality and abstraction, between order and chaos, between structure and freedom, but also between city and nature. The tension between these elements generates suspended landscapes, in which architecture breaks apart and recomposes itself in a play of volumes and colours. Streets, buildings and piazzas emerge as fragments of a visual narrative, in which the rationality of geometry mingles with the organic vitality of nature.

Beneath the infinite sky, the piazza appears as a suspended dream, while the planets recite cosmic poems.

In 'Planetary Meditations', the universe manifests as a celestial garden, the echo of ancient songs resounding among the forms.

In 'Metaphysical Space with Planets', the inner urban landscape reveals itself, a stage of forms and colours. The planets, symbols of inner worlds, float in a silent harmony, inviting contemplation.

The architectures emerge as fragments of a geometry suspended in space. The colours intertwine in a play of reflections, while curved and squared forms contend in an unstable balance.

In 'The Silence of the Infinite', metaphysical space unfolds like an inner garden, a place where time dissolves into stillness and essence reveals itself.
