About the artwork

Over the Clouds catches the summit of Monte Generoso at the moment when the fog opens and lets the Fiore di Pietra surface, the building designed by the architect Mario Botta that crowns the peak at 1704 metres. The mountain emerges from the white like a sculpted profile, suspended between the dark rock and the sky that surrounds it. The work belongs to the My Generoso collection and grows out of a daily habit. Yuri Catania lives in Rovio, at the foot of Monte Generoso, in Canton Ticino, and from his studio he looks every day at that mountain that dominates the surrounding landscape and that, from the first day he chose to live in that house, has been a great source of attraction for him. Here photography becomes architecture of the landscape: the Fiore di Pietra, with its corolla-shaped geometry, settles on the crest like a construction born from the mountain itself. The black and white and the haze rising from the slope turn the scene into a rarefied vision, where the work of man and the power of nature meet at the highest point of the Generoso. Hence the title, Over the Clouds. The viewpoint is the privileged one enjoyed by CasaGalleria and Catania's atelier, facing the summit directly: the same daily gaze from which the whole collection comes to life. As in the rest of the collection, contemplating the mountain becomes a moment of creation for the artist: My Generoso records its changes of light, season and mood, like a portrait of the same subject repeated over time.

The artist

Yuri Catania

Swiss-Italian visual artist, born in Milan in 1975, he lives and works in Rovio, in Val Mara, at the foot of Monte Generoso, home to the CasaGalleria.ART gallery-atelier. He studied Industrial Design at the Politecnico di Milano.

His work combines photography, painting and digital tools in a single language: photographs taken by the artist himself, from the atelier garden to the moon seen through a telescope, are composed, printed, pasted onto concrete and wood supports and repainted with fluorescent acrylics that reveal themselves under ultraviolet light. His main collections – Yuri in Wonderland with the Astro Girl series, A Day of Flowers, Black Flowers Secret Garden and My Generoso – revolve around a constant theme: the relationship between nature, technology and the human gaze, with the Rovio garden and its biodiversity as the starting point.
