Descrizione:

BUTTERFLY IN THE CITY (green) explores the city as a symbolic and living territory where geometry gradually reveals an inner landscape. At the heart of the composition, the recessed outline of butterfly wings emerges from a rigorous geometric structure, creating a space of transformation, balance and renewal. Rather than depicting an urban landscape, the work suggests that every contemporary city also contains an invisible world shaped by memory, identity and imagination.

The vibrant dialogue between lemon green, magenta and luminous yellow reinforces this dynamic, expressing both the energy of metropolitan life and the possibility of harmony within complexity. The butterfly becomes a silent presence, opening a poetic space of breathing and freedom amid the density of the urban environment.

The composition originates from the intermediate geometric form developed for EXTRAPOLATED WORLD (the transitional figure between the inscribed square and the circle). This form was extrapolated into a Golden Rectangle, then divided into four quadrants that underwent successive geometric transformations: axial tension applied to the two principal edges and, on two diagonally opposed sections, a double mirror process. From this constructive process, the butterfly gradually emerges as the natural outcome of the geometry itself.

Originally conceived as the second panel of a diptych created for the Museum of Art and Science in Milan (November 2024), the work received a Certificate of Artistic Merit. Although born within that project, BUTTERFLY IN THE CITY (green) stands today as a fully autonomous artwork.
