THE BANK HOTEL COLLECTION
Situated in the heart of Perugia in the historic building that previously belonged to the Bank of Perugia, THE BANK HOTEL is a synonym of minimalistic luxury.
Impeccable interior design developed by Diego Cacciamani, the founder of A25 Architectural Platform, combine together the precision and austerity of geometry, sophistication of marble of Carrara and refinement of Poliform furniture.
The collection of 40 custom made paintings were created to enhance the aesthetic dialogue between the object within each room.
PILIGRIMAGE
Into the details:
This painting belongs to a collection of paintings developed exclusively for The BANK Hotel in Perugia.
Spaces create memories. Traces oftimes lived to be sustained through repetition, a comeback, acherishing celebration. Distances create time: to travel, to reflectand to be longing for, and to rejoin.
A quintessence of memory, of a journey, of a socially ritualisedspace, the Bank of Perugia, the Hotel.
"Alchemy sees the transformation of the elements as a metaphor for the journey that we take in our lives" - from the interview with Polina Stepanova about the series of Painting for the Bank Hotel in Perugia.

Rituals create space, space creates time.
What is a ritual? A repetition, a celebration, a possibility of a comeback, a reassuring journey, a path to timeless value. Instrumentally, rituals are our gestures, habits, links to the roots, heritage. Rituals give us a tangible comprehension of self as well as the space as our extension.
A travel, a homeland, a room of a hotel, a restaurant, - all those places leave traces on our mental bodies as much as we leave traces upon them.
Interiors commemorate our gestures and allow us to stay within a safe space of repeated movements, habits, turning them into a celebration of our reality.
“Laputa” - resin based inks and ecoline on pure cotton paper with golden foil elements in its beautiful home.
Laputa is inspired by a mythological flying island, a metaphor for a parallel reality, a dreamscape, access to which is granted only to the true dreamers or seekers.

We don’t miss places, we miss who we have been in them, our previous selves. It is not the mirror that reflects you, but all the space, all that surrounds you and connects within that thinnest layer of atoms…
Your walks and gestures, guided by the shape of the room and furniture, that with time, turn into habits. Habits, rituals, point of return.
Artworks are charged objects. They contain the artists energy, but also with days and centuries passing by they accumulate the viewers thought…they become watched, spoken about, they grow into another entity.
“The elements” is made in resin based inks on 100% cotton paper.
This artwork is created in an intuition based technique titled “gesture painting”, where the inks are being spilled onto the liquid surface where the artist guides them, but leaves the paint to transform further following its potential.
