The Vertigine series is one of Manuel Felisi’s most intense and distinctive projects, representing one of the most poetic peaks of his artistic research. In these works, painting and photography merge into a layered and vibrant visual language, capable of offering a perceptive and emotional experience that deeply engages the viewer, stimulating memory and inviting the discovery of hidden details within the natural landscape.
Felisi draws from his photographic archive—shots of branches, trees, walks in the woods—to build mental landscapes where natural elements are multiplied, decomposed, and recomposed according to a modular artworks built from memory and nature.
The vegetal subjects thus become emotional grids, maps of the soul where time settles through repeated gestures, overlapping pigments, and surface layering. The final effect is a visual, but also inner, vertigo: the eye gets lost in details while the mind embarks on a journey through fragments of memories. Felisi’s poetic vision revolves around themes such as time, memory, nature, and transformation.
