Sphaera, 2024

Sphaera is a diptych of medium-format prints resulting from a selection of high-resolution studies I created using the 3D extrusion technique.

In 3D modeling, the “extrusion” technique is a fundamental process used to create a 3D shape from a 2D object by “pulling” or “pushing” the 2D object along a path or direction. By extruding along a defined path or curve, or by varying the scale or rotation of the extrusion, complex and detailed 3D models can be created.

Each piece, measuring 40×40 cm, has been printed on “Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320 gsm” paper, a natural white, pure cotton paper with a pearl-gloss premium inkjet coating that produces exceptional prints—one of my favorite papers.

Sphaera has been produced in a limited edition of two.

User-Driven Particle System Variations [nX], 2023

Particle System Variations is a series of 10 limited edition prints that represent random abstract landscapes generated through a customized, user-assisted particle system technique.

For this series, I chose to use “Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm” paper because of its exceptional qualities that enhance black-and-white printing. Its smooth, velvety surface provides rich detail and depth, showcasing the intricate nuances of the landscapes. Additionally, this paper’s outstanding longevity and resistance to fading ensure that each print endures over time.

dS_attractors, 2023

The term ‘attractor’ is used in the theory of dynamical systems to describe a set of states toward which a system tends to evolve over time. An attractor represents a long-term behavior or a point of stabilization toward which the system converges, regardless of the initial conditions.

dS_attractors is a series of seven black-and-white plotted prints on 90 gsm uncoated paper.
Each print features three visual patterns, representing three distinct ‘points of stabilization,’ generated using programming techniques based on the theory of attractors: tailored computational models and algorithms govern the procedural generation of the patterns, employing iteration and calculation processes.
Through calculations and repetitions, the system (and thus the artistic creation process) follows a logic that mimics that of real dynamic systems.

The prints are produced in an edition of 3, each measuring 100×45 cm.

Concretio, 2022

The Latin word “concretio” comes from “concretus,” which means “condensed, hardened, rigid, coagulated,” and figuratively refers to something “dense” or “dim,” with the literal meaning of “grown together.”

In this small series, I aim to visually express the concept of condensation and transformation, drawing inspiration from alchemical tradition. In this context, condensation symbolizes the materialization of subtle energies, the transition from a fluid and intangible state to a more solid and concrete form. Transformation is the process that guides matter (or the soul) through various stages of purification, ultimately reaching a state of harmony and enlightenment.

The artworks has been printed with archival pigment-based inks on “Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta 325 gsm” paper (sheet size: 48.3×32.9 cm; image size: 30×42.5 cm), in a limited edition of 3 + 1 AP.

In a Landscape, 2021

The allure of fractal mathematics arises from its position at the intersection of generative art and computer art.

In a Landscape is a series of medium-sized, limited edition fine art prints featuring 3D-generated fractal landscapes.

Many natural phenomena exhibit some form of statistical self-similarity that can be modeled by fractal surfaces to generate realistic-looking images. These 3D-generated fractal landscapes are digital terrain models created using stochastic algorithms designed to produce visual outputs that mimic the appearance of natural terrain.

The series was produced using multifractal algorithms, which, unlike monofractal algorithms, exhibit varying degrees of complexity and detail across all scales. Fractal geometry allows us to achieve highly detailed and complex landscapes, making them appear more natural than those generated using other traditional methods.

The high-resolution generated images were subsequently processed with photographic editing tools (selective defocusing, toning, graining, etc.) and finally optimized for printing on “Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag 310 gsm” paper: a high-quality paper made from 100% cotton, highly regarded for its ability to reproduce fine details, exceptional tonal range, and refined texture, as well as its excellent Dmax for deep blacks.

Each piece was printed in a limited edition of 3 + 1 AP.

Six Studies on Electronic Disturbance, 2021

Six studies simulating the effects of electronic interference and digital anomalies obtained by applying a combination of filters (refraction, glitch, moiré, color synch,…) on a cluster of 2D generated lines.

The series has been printed in a limited edition of 3 + 1 AP on “Canson Infinity Photo Highgloss Premium RC 315 gsm” paper, a resin-coated paper that enhances vibrant colors, contrast, brightness, and depth, ensuring long-lasting prints.

On Growth and Form, 2020

On Growth and Form is a series of four polyptychs that takes its title and inspiration from the eponymous book by Scottish biologist and mathematician D’Arcy W. Thompson, first published in 1917.

A pioneer in the application of mathematics to biology, Thompson’s research—widely respected by biologists, architects, and artists—guided the development of experimental morphology. Despite its reductionist approach, which diverges from the dominant theories formulated over sixty years earlier by Charles Darwin, his compelling attempt to highlight the importance of mathematics and geometry in defining and regulating the forms of living beings and their evolutionary changes is relevant to the ‘practice of organic (re)-design’ I began in 2003 with the Quasi-Objects cycle: on the trail of Thompson, I have sought to highlight analogies and points of convergence between the organic and inorganic worlds, bridging living and non-living matter.

The series is printed with archival pigment-based inks on “Harman Matt Cotton Textured 300 gsm” paper (sheet size: 42×59.4 cm; image size: 36×36 cm) in a limited edition of 3 + 1 AP.

Micrographies / Photomicrographies, 2020

Micrographies / Photomicrographies is a series of 3D-generated prints conceived to simulate the visualization of microorganisms, cells, and molecules—their morphologies and dynamics—through a microscope.

The earliest known examples of compound microscopes—whose inventor is unknown, although many claims have been made over the years—appeared in Europe around 1620. Their rapid evolution (electron, fluorescence, scanning probe, X-ray, etc.) has been fundamental to the progress of scientific research, making them a symbol of science itself and of its “truthful efficacy.” Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, first published in 1665, was the earliest significant book to illustrate insects, plants, and more as seen through microscopes.
Notably, it coined the biological term “cell” and contains large-scale, finely detailed illustrations of some of the specimens Hooke observed under the microscopes he designed.

The entire series—consisting of 14 works—is printed with archival pigment-based inks on “Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin 310 gsm” paper (sheet size: 48.3×32.9 cm; image size: various) in a limited edition of 3 + 1 AP.

t.SPACEs, 2017

t.SPACEs (2017) is an open series of large-format limited edition prints that investigates the notion of topological space.

It questions the concept of an absolute, uniform Newtonian space, embracing instead a stratigraphic paradigm that conveys the sense and sensitivity of a relational, non-substantial space with variable densities and speeds.
t.SPACEs aims to represent the pure relationships between points in an n-dimensional space, characterized by a functional-positional valency that acts as an independent articulation device.

The series is printed with UV-Curable Pigment Inks on “Sihl TriSolv Satin Paper 135 gsm”—a high-quality printing technique that ensures exceptional detail. This paper provides a smooth surface that enhances tonal vibrancy, while the UV-curable inks offer excellent resistance to fading over time.

Edition of 3, Various Dimensions.
