In the quiet hush of the Villa, where the wind carries the scent of citrus and sunlit stone, four bedrooms hold the memory of the land outside their walls. Here, the artworks do not simply hang — they breathe. Each piece draws from the rocks that lie just beyond the villa’s thresholds, their silent, timeworn surfaces now transformed into soft, tactile visions.

Natural linen, dyed in earthbound tones, becomes the canvas. Beneath it, subtle volumes rise — not sculpted from stone but lifted by hand, as if the rock’s breath had pressed through the fabric. Seams meander like ancient fault lines, creating wrinkles and folds that echo the quiet drama of geological time.

These are not exact replicas of the rocks that inspired them, but dreamt versions — compositions turned on their head, shadows brought forward in relief, the story of each stone retold in texture and thread. It is an inversion of nature: a tactile illusion where what is usually carved by erosion is instead shaped by softness, where permanence is suggested in impermanence.

Each work is a portrait of a single rock — studied, deconstructed, reimagined. Their forms no longer sit passively in the landscape but enter the room with presence and warmth, as if the outdoors had quietly stepped inside, carrying with it a new language of matter and memory.
