With Ischia from Above, Paolo May presents a unique perspective of the island, interpreted through mixed media on wood – clay, glazes and colors. The artwork reveals hills descending toward the sea, while the village emerges as a central core within the landscape. A 3D view that celebrates Ischia’s identity through warm tones and sculpted forms, evoking the strength of the territory.
Colors in images may appear slightly different or more saturated depending on the device used.
Viewing Ischia from above means capturing, in a single glance, the richness of its landscape: rolling hills, rugged coastlines and villages overlooking the sea.
It is an island where nature, history and culture come together, revealing its identity as a true Mediterranean crossroads from this elevated perspective.
In this piece, Paolo May interprets the island through a three-dimensional language, shaping hills and settlements in clay, finished with glazes and colors.
This work goes beyond a simple landscape view: it becomes a visual memory that tells the essence of Ischia. May transforms the island’s natural form into an artistic narrative, where every relief and shade contributes to a shared identity.
