'Through the moods of airplane speeds, I was able to create the terrestrial landscape by isolating it out of time and space feeding it with heaven so that it would become paradise' - Gerardo Dottori
'... this conception came to me from the idea of synthesizing the totalitarian vision of the Umbrian landscape seen from the top of a mountain, to enter as much space as possible into the picture and thus overcome the traditional horizon limited by a horizontal line' - Gerardo Dottori
