The Italian carmaker selected Federico B. Alliney for the job. We are talking about the artist that offered us the stunning world hidden inside the Avatar movie. Alliney created seven Alfa Romeo-blessed works of art that cover the company’s 100 year history.
“It’s as if Alfa Romeo cars are linked to our inner self and to the essence of the earth. There is the most perfect encounter between aesthetics and mechanics. The mechanical elements do not seem to result from an engineering exercise but have their roots in a work of art which rises above the limits of its body and its invisible aura. This is the starting point of my research: to capture le subtle connection between the object and its soul which makes its shapes vibrate," Alliney said.
These include cult vehicles such as the 8C 2300 or the Disco Volante. The artworks are included in a collection called “The Cross and the Snake”. Each creation is available in a limited series of 30 units.
“The shapes which have inspired Alfa Romeo projects derive directly from the times of the knights of which they remain the last representatives, I refer to the aristocratic emblem which adorns their noses or the shape of their rims, and to the perforations which recall the rose windows of renaissance churches, and, also, the triangular decorations and the cross-sectional lines which clearly recall the emblems of knights tournaments, and, finally, the Alfa Romeo logo itself with the cross and the snake from which the collections draws its inspiration," the artist added.
