About the artwork

Over the Clouds captures the summit of Monte Generoso as the fog parts, revealing the Fiore di Pietra (Stone Flower), the building designed by architect Mario Botta that crowns the peak at 1704 meters. The mountain emerges from the white mist like a sculpted profile, suspended between the dark rock and the sky that envelops it. The artwork belongs to the My Generoso collection and originates from a daily routine. Yuri Catania lives in Rovio, at the foot of Monte Generoso, in Canton Ticino, and from his studio, he observes this mountain every day. It dominates the surrounding landscape and has been a great source of attraction for him since the very first day he chose to live in that house. Here, photography becomes landscape architecture: the Fiore di Pietra, with its corolla-like geometry, rests on the ridge like a structure born from the mountain itself. The black and white tones and the mist rising from the slope transform the scene into a rarefied vision, where human endeavor and the power of nature meet at Generoso's highest point. Hence the title, Over the Clouds. The privileged viewpoint is that enjoyed by CasaGalleria and Catania's atelier, directly overlooking the summit: the same daily perspective from which the entire collection comes to life. As in the rest of the collection, the contemplation of the mountain becomes a moment of creation for the artist: My Generoso records its variations in 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.
