Request information

All works at CasaGalleria.ART are originals by Yuri Catania, made by hand in the 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 Switzerland, insured shipping is free for purchases from CHF 500; in Canton Ticino, delivery is made personally by the artist. 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 runs from handover to the courier: it depends on the courier, the distance and customs, so we can only estimate it, and we will let you know on confirmation. For special requirements, please mention them in the order notes 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

A band of pink light crosses the deep blue twilight diagonally, while a thin crescent moon hangs almost invisibly at the center of the frame. Mount Generoso is reduced to a dark line on the horizon, a necessary but silent presence: it is the sky, here, that tells of the passage of time, in those very brief minutes when day is not yet night. The work belongs to the My Generoso collection and originates from a daily habit. Yuri Catania lives in Rovio, at the foot of Monte Generoso, in Canton Ticino, and from his studio he observes every day that mountain that dominates the surrounding landscape and which, from the very first day he chose to live in that house, has been a great source of attraction for him. The viewpoint is the privileged one enjoyed by the CasaGalleria and Catania's atelier, directly overlooking the summit: the same daily gaze 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 author: My Generoso records its variations 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.
