Giorgio de Chirico

'The anguish of departure'  Giorgio de Chirico, 1913

Ever since I was a kid Giorgio de Chirico's paintings have fascinated me.
The atmosphere of the fateful, the deserted. The ominous skies and long dramatic late-afternoon shadows of strong architectural elements.

It is the dreamlike, enigmatic and deserted that captivates me in the very same way what I am trying to point out that I find in some architecture. The architectural experience stays different as it has a strong physical presence in space.
