Plato's City

Suspended between sky and sea, "Plato's City" rises - enigmatic and timeless - at the threshold of the visible and the invisible. Is it the vestige of a sunken past or the blueprint of a world yet to come? Inspired by the myth of Atlantis (hence its reference to Plato), this imaginary city seems to float in a space where reality and legend intertwine, where the tangible and the ideal converge in silent harmony.

Rounded, gentle forms imbue the composition with an almost celestial serenity. Yet, the vertical perspective, the energy of the brushstrokes, and the soaring structure of columns and arches evoke the grandeur of ancient architecture - a distant echo of the ideal cities once envisioned by philosophers. This city does not appear to sink into the waves, but rather to emerge from them, reborn from an abyss of mystery.

Perhaps it was never swallowed by the depths but merely displaced… Hidden in the heights, in that realm where, according to Genesis, “the waters above” and “the waters below” were separated at the dawn of Creation. Invisible to wandering eyes, it only reveals itself to those who know how to seek it - in the folds of dreams and contemplation.

At the heart of this deep, almost motionless sea, the city is illuminated by a rainbow - a radiant trace of an ancient hope. Like Noah’s covenant after the Flood, it whispers the promise that nothing is ever truly lost, that what has vanished may yet reappear, that what was submerged may one day rise again.

Thus, "Plato's City" is not merely a place, but an idea - a world suspended between memory and becoming, between myth and reality. It is an invitation to believe that, even when hidden from the world’s gaze, truth always finds its way back to the surface, bathed in light and renewal.
