Scenic Visions
Giorgio de Chirico’s theatrical landscapes that inspired Creative Collection Chapter XV
In the universe of 20th century painting, Giorgio de Chirico is a name that resonates with a unique force.
Founder of metaphysical painting, the Italian artist moulded an aesthetic capable of evoking mystery, expectation and a dimension suspended between dream and reality. But beyond the iconic silent squares and enigmatic mannequins, there is a lesser-known aspect of his work that deserves to be rediscovered: his connection to theatre.
De Chirico did not limit himself to canvas, over the years he experimented with the world of stage design, painting decorations and backdrops for some of his most famous operas, including Don Giovanni and Othello.
In these works, his style departs from typical metaphysical iconography, adopting a language closer to the stage design traditions of the time. However, the sense of theatricality and the taste for constructing evocative settings remain, offering a fascinating insight into his approach to scenic art.
This marriage of painting and theatre inspired one of the narrative landscape themes of Creative Collection Chapter XV, the latest chapter in the Glamora collection.
Through colours, perspectives and plays of shadows, the theme dedicated to De Chirico transposes his vision into interior design, creating a new aesthetic dimension. The intention is to reinterpret his poetics through a contemporary language, capable of evoking the enchantment of scenography and the allure of theatricality.
The result is a visual narrative that invites one to lose oneself in imaginary spaces, where time seems to stand still and each element becomes part of a silent but meaningful representation.
Thus, De Chirico’s scenographic approach is transformed into an immersive experience, bringing the suggestion of an endless stage to the surfaces of Glamora.
