Request information

All artworks at CasaGalleria.ART are originals by Yuri Catania, handmade in the Rovio atelier: unique pieces or numbered and signed limited editions. We do not sell reproductions.

For fine art photographs that are not unique pieces, the artist produces a maximum of 5 prints per image, regardless of size: the 5 prints are the total for that subject, not 5 per size. In addition, there are 2 artist's proofs (AP), which Yuri Catania reserves for exhibitions and art fairs and which are not for sale. Each print is numbered and signed and is printed when you order, never in advance: you receive a print made for you. Once the edition is sold out, the image is never printed again. The price shown refers to the print available at the time of purchase.

Yes. Every artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, stating the title, year, technique, dimensions and, for editions, the print number. Keep it with the artwork: it is required for any return.

Unique works are delivered framed, in the frame chosen by the artist for that piece; for works valued above CHF 1,500, the frame is made by Yuri Catania in the atelier.
For editioned photographic prints, we agree on delivery together: rolled in a tube, or mounted on a rigid support and framed. Write to us before or right after ordering and we will explain the options.

Avoid direct sunlight and damp rooms. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth, without detergents. The technical details of each artwork list its materials and support; for specific questions, write to us.

In Canton Ticino, delivery is free and made personally by the artist. Elsewhere in Switzerland and abroad (EU and non-EU), the cost depends on the destination and the size of the artwork and is agreed with you before the order is confirmed. You can also collect the artwork from the gallery in Rovio, by appointment.

Each artwork is prepared and packed individually; editioned photographs are printed when the order is placed. From order confirmation, we take up to two working weeks to prepare the artwork, make its dedicated packaging, arrange delivery or courier shipping and prepare any documents. Transit time is additional and starts from shipment: for international orders it depends on the destination and is communicated on confirmation. For special requirements, please add a note to your order or write to us.

Yes, within 14 days of delivery. Swiss law does not provide a right of withdrawal for distance sales: this is a guarantee we offer our collectors voluntarily. The artwork must be returned undamaged, in its original packaging and with the certificate of authenticity. Return shipping costs are borne by you; we cover the transport insurance for the return. Please write to us before sending it back: the refund is made within 10 working days of receipt and inspection of the artwork.

About the artwork

September 8 belongs to the series A Day of Flowers, a project in which Yuri Catania paints one flower a day, every day of the year, in a fixed 50 × 50 cm format. Like a page from a visual diary, each artwork records a specific day: the mood, the location, the season, and the time are incorporated into the composition, color, and energy of the painting, which is never the same as the previous one. In this painting from September 8, a bouquet of roses and buds is built with broad, textured brushstrokes, in bright pink, fuchsia, and ivory cream. The flowers are rendered through soft masses rather than outlines, with swirls of color defining the corollas in a few confident strokes, while the green and teal background, speckled with acid green, makes them advance towards the viewer. The painting is dense and sensual, almost tactile: it is one of the most painterly and close-up pages in the series, where the hand's gesture remains fully visible in the body of the paint. The A Day of Flowers project began on August 29, 2025, in Honfleur, Normandy, during a road trip, inspired by a book by David Hockney dedicated to the use of the iPad as a painting tool. From that first attempt in front of a tree, while camping, a daily pact was born: one flower a day as the smallest unit of cultivated beauty. Each artwork is digitally painted and then printed on cotton paper in its original format and hand-framed by the artist, so that the digital returns to the physical body of the artwork, restoring materiality, edges, and shadow. A Day of Flowers is a meditation on time: not abstract time, but time lived and measured in gestures. Black or white frame on 3 mm aluminum (color to be specified for the artwork). Digitally painted with Procreate on iPad; printed as a unique artwork.

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.

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 series – Yuri in Wonderland with its Astro Girls, 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.
