GREEN MARS ARCHITECTURES
I have started drawing architectures on Mars just because it is so wonderfully empty.
What I draw, I have no idea, certainly they are not functions I understand. For sure they are not NASA bases or anything like that, I don't even know if those buildings are made by humans or not. It doesn't matter.
Architecture is powerful and meaningful in itself, this is what is important for me.
Even more, in dialogue with such a pristine environment.
But during the time I have started to understand that this dialogue with nature also means, kind of violating it. Parasite, life is just a parasite, grown abusively on the geological endless tranquility. Maybe geology should just be left alone.
MARS ARCHITECTURES, THE NEW SERIES, 2015
The new series of collages commissioned by ESH Gallery in Milan.
A series of imaginary architectures exploring the expressivity or Architectural space. In stark contrast - and in a deeply respectful dialogue - with the pristine, mercyless setting of a place impossibly far and however so familiar.
The drawings are fully hand-made perspectives drawn on recycled paper with ink/china. The original sizes vary from 30x20cm to 70 x 40cm.
The
background photos (Copyright NASA/ JPL-Caltech) are courtesy of our
eyes on Mars, the tireless rovers, which bring another world so close
to us. Even after all these years I still can't get over the sense of
wonder created by these images. It is a pleasure and a privilege to
work with them.

MARS ARCHITECTURES, REVIEWED
why not land the drawings on actual Mars, in the same way they do in Milan or Paris in the Landed series.
