This original etching by Mario Botta, an architect of international renown, represents a rare and precious testimony of his design vision transposed into the language of art graphics. The work, dated December 1994 and signed by the author, is titled "X Artificio" and is part of a limited edition of 100 numbered copies (this is number 97/100).

Executed with a sharp, clear, architectural line, the image shows a geometric and dynamic composition that recalls recognizable elements of Botta’s poetics: essential volumes, rational structures, strongly defined spaces. The building at the center, enclosed by lines that intersect and overlap, seems to emerge as a mental, rather than physical, construction, highlighting the continuity between drawing and design, between idea and space.

The work is impressed with great quality on fine paper, and kept in an editorial portfolio. An object destined for collectors, architects, and enthusiasts of contemporary graphics.
