Neofuturistic art for a building complex in Moscow

A series of neofuturistic artworks created exclusively for “Legendary area”, a complex of apartments in Moscow near the city's largest botanical garden. The architectural project is built around the concept of living with sports. There is a great infrastructure for soccer, tennis, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and many other sports. The developers of the project are particularly proud of the most modern Olympic center for water sports, featuring a 50-meter-long pool.

The Worldwide Water Sports Federation FINA and the Russian Volleyball Federation accredit the project.

It consists of 5 buildings with 18 floors each, named after famous Russian athletes:

Olympic champion Eugenie Grishin gave his name to the water polo building, Olympic champion Olga Brusnikina to the one dedicated to synchronized swimming, Olympic champion Alexandr Popov to the swimming one, Olympic champion Sergey Tetyuhin to the volleyball one, and World Boxing Superstar and Russian professional boxing federation President Viktor Ageev to the boxing building.

The art:
Futurism is the artistic movement that has influenced me more than any other. As a design student in Milan during the 90s, I had the opportunity to live and study in the birthplace of the movement. My teachers at the Scuola Politecnica di Design were members of the post-futuristic M.A.C. (Movimento Arte Concreta) group. Futurism, constructivism, and Gestalt psychology were the foundations on which these artists have built their careers and their teachings. 
Russia is the country most connected to the Futurism movement. So I am really thrilled to have had the opportunity to create some neofuturistic art for the capital of Russian Futurism.
