Tiger’s Tranquility

DETAILS

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A once-majestic church from the 18th century located in the region of Parma, Italy, now a forgotten relic gradually reclaimed by Mother Nature’s embrace. The ornate architecture tells a story of grandeur and decay, standing as a silent witness to the passage of time. The space is adorned with sculptures photographed in Italy; Florence, Rome, and Caserta, that pay homage to and resonate with the church’s neoclassical artistry.
The rare white tigers and South American coatis introduce a symphony of elegance and wild beauty, creating a harmonious balance between the creations of Mother Nature and the architectural elements of the church.

 

Created over several years, involving approximately 600 layers of raw photographs, hand-painted details, shadows, and lights, color adjustments, and masks. Each element has been captured with a full-frame camera and meticulously fused using a Wacom Cintiq Pro tablet. The process employs brushes and techniques inspired by traditional painting.

STAIRS AND STRIPES

2019

how will places look, when forces of nature reclaim what once was lost...

Will the new inhabitants of these marvels simply be bypassers or will they stay and make thriving cities of nature’s life.

Because of mankind, the animals have been pushed to live in the most abandoned regions of the earth.

In search of places where men are rarer than animals.

Shall the ballrooms be again a place of dance and joy, rooms full of life, 

and the buildings a place of comfort and shelter against the crude forces who retook them?
