Virtual model (2023) Original Oil Painting by Federico Cortese

This painting presents an aerial view of a stylized village nestled within undulating green hills. With bold, geometric precision and vivid color contrasts, the landscape is transformed into an abstract yet familiar world. The red-roofed buildings, with sharp, angular forms, seem to float amid the rhythmically curving terrain lines that suggest elevation and movement. The layout evokes medieval European hill towns. A serene blue stream at the bottom adds a gentle visual anchor, hinting at the lifeblood of the village. The work’s combination of cartographic abstraction and vibrant storytelling draws the viewer into a miniature world that feels timeless, both playful and profound.
