RECAST_029 Print - Limited Edition of 6

Antonio, a creative consultant and close collaborator of architect Zaha Hadid, delves into the realm of perception in his artistic endeavors. Through his work, he explores the interplay between optical illusions and uncertain perceptions. One of his preferred mediums is installations, which he combines with hybrid photography. Observing his creations, our eyes bear witness to a constant flux, as subtle optical tricks unfold when we shift our focus across different areas. Space appears to both recede and advance, while we become attuned to the minute variations in color, texture, and material. Antonio skillfully employs the spectrum of light to evoke emotions, effectively drawing viewers into a contemplative and almost meditative state of mind. Antonio has long been captivated by the visual potency and profound depth experienced when engaging with a two-dimensional surface. By juxtaposing the physicality of his artwork with the illusion of space, he skillfully constructs intricate scenarios that hint at the emergence of new environments. These scenarios are merely suggestions, not realities. They exist as illusions, not truths.
