The collection and the studio

Everything in the house that is not a bedroom: the works on the walls, the iron staircase up to the terrace, the room where the painting happens.

The collection

Original worksline the walls.

They do not decorate the house; they belong to it. From room to room, even the way they inhabit the space changes. Arms outstretched to hold the books: the gesture is Keith Haring's — here, it is not suspended in space, it becomes the bookcase itself.

The atelier

Someone is paintingin the next room.

The paint tubes are squeezed to the very end, canvases wait propped against the wall, and light pours in through a large window overlooking the rooftops of Catania. This is where many of the paintings in the house begin.
