yuri in wonderland ARTWORK

“Yuri in Wonderland” is an artistic project born from the dialogue between humanity, nature, and technology—central themes in Yuri Catania’s poetic vision.

​

In this series, the artist explores the delicate balance between the human essence and the digital era, using an expressive language that blends painting, photography, collage, and advanced technologies such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence.

​

The result is an immersive journey that invites viewers to reflect on the role of mankind—depicted as an astronaut, a symbol of technology—in relation to the surrounding natural world. The work calls for awareness, respect, and a renewed commitment to environmental protection.

​

Each creation offers multiple layers of meaning and comes alive through augmented reality. By framing the artworks with a smartphone, visitors can enjoy an experience enhanced by sounds and video clips created by the artist. Some works also reveal hidden colors and details, visible only under UV light, turning every encounter into a unique discovery.

​

“Yuri in Wonderland” is an invitation to look beyond, to dream, to get lost and find oneself in the infinity of the cosmos. It’s a collection that celebrates our innate curiosity for the unknown, rekindling the inner child eager to explore and marvel.

​

The artist invites everyone to join this extraordinary interstellar journey, where creativity knows no bounds.
