FUTURE LANDSAPES
The FUTURE LANDSCAPE section, was greatly enriched by the tryptic by Swiss artist Christopher Muller: “Vignobles à Banyuls Banyuls-sur-mer” is a series of futuristic landscapes on the interplay between nature and art. Inspired by the terraced vineyards that stretch from the slopes of the Albères massif down to the Mediterranean, Mueller’s work goes beyond the simple depiction of a landscape. The colours and shapes of nature become dynamic spaces for a new abstract perspective, transforming nature into something that goes beyond what is visible. Above all, it is a powerful demonstration of how art unfolds into something new to rethink space, time, and perception.

About the Series
In Venice, I present my latest series of Subligraphies, which depict abstract landscapes deeply intertwined with the themes of landscape painting, nature, and art history. These works unite tradition and modernity, creating a harmonious dialogue between different eras and techniques.
Through a subtle interplay of colors - from warm yellows to soft pinks -I capture the ever-changing light of the landscape. Black lines traverse the compositions, lending structure and evoking the terraced vineyards of Banyuls-sur-Mer - a symbol of the deep-rooted connection between humanity and nature.
Landscape painting began in the Renaissance as a decorative background and evolved during the Romantic period into a reflection of the human soul. My work continues this tradition by combining photography and traditional painting techniques with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This fusion bridges the idealized pursuit of Impressionism with today's technology-driven expressions.
By connecting the external landscape with my inner world, I capture not only the physical beauty of nature but also its emotional depth and cultural essence. My works invite you to reflect on the relationship between past, present, and future, as well as on our own connection to nature.
