A middleage Castle on a hermit crab
English Version: Castle on Hermit Crab – Urbanimals Collection
In a world where nature and imagination entwine, the Castle on Crab is a living legend. A mighty hermit crab, bearing an ancient, whimsical castle on its back, roams the shores like a drifting kingdom. Each turret tells a story of journeys past, each stone whispers of the sea’s timeless secrets. Part of the Urbanimals collection, this piece invites viewers to dream beyond boundaries, to believe in nomadic cities, living creatures as guardians of forgotten worlds, and the untamed poetry of exploration. With vivid ink strokes and splashes of watercolor, Castle on Crab captures the spirit of resilience, adventure, and mystery. A reminder that true kingdoms are carried within, wherever the tides may lead.
IT. Castello medievale su Paguro – Collezione Urbanimals
In un mondo dove natura e immaginazione si intrecciano, A middleage Castle on a hermit crab è una leggenda vivente. Un possente granchio eremita, che porta sulle spalle un antico castello fiabesco, vaga lungo le rive come un regno errante. Ogni torre racconta storie di viaggi lontani, ogni pietra sussurra antichi segreti del mare. Parte della collezione Urbanimals, quest’opera invita chi osserva a sognare senza confini, a credere in città nomadi, in creature custodi di mondi dimenticati e nella poesia selvaggia dell'esplorazione. Con decisi tratti d'inchiostro e vivaci pennellate d'acquerello, A middleage Castle on a hermit crab cattura lo spirito della resilienza, dell'avventura e del mistero. Un promemoria che i veri regni si portano dentro, ovunque ci conducano le maree.
This is a classic it doesn't need be introduse!
This series symbolically and surreally explores the cohabitation of animals with an urban landscape. Here the ecological approach that distinguishes human/nature relationship is central by inviting us to perceive the earth as a living entity, as a large garden in which all the ignored fragments of the landscape offer us opportunities for regeneration. This was inspired by Gilles Clément's concept of "Third Landscape." All works are signed and certified.
