Michael Rampa makes an enigmatic tension emerge within his work. Summoning with dreamlike aestheticism the natural element, he offers a controlled exploration of voids and solids, the human evolving in an immobile solitude. Self-taught, the artist manages to generate an imaginary space that reveals itself to the viewer like a memory.
