Architetture Dreams Metropolis by isabel carafi

My composite world has become yet more novel and rich. Her altered, expanded and compressed shapes, intoxicated and insane, are set face to face with architectural spaces. The artist has recently reflected upon the structural power of architecture - most notably of historical and ecclesiastical nature - on the concept of construction as such, on the positive, concrete, stabilizing aspect it inevitably entails, as against transience, the fluctuating and destabilizing situations that do, on the other hand, characterize our current society. Architecture has indeed penetrated into her compositions, obviously with outcomes of her own, phantasmagorical and exuberant, ironical and amused, where shapes and structures often cross and melt, thus creating extremely skilful compositions, endless decorative arabesques, chromatic and linear plays, at times evoking ancient cultures.
