LIVING ART Artwork and Habitat as One

Italian artist Mario Arlati is world famous for creating art that narrates the story of the location where it resides.  His paintings work with their palettes as part of an encompassing aesthetic – celebrating textures while exploring shape, space, color and contour.

In 2011 architect Dante Benini designed a unique architectural shape for a condominium that won the contract organized by the Moscow developer Krost Concern.  As the finishing touch to this masterpiece, Benini partnered with Mario Arlati to create an artistically inspired habitat.  The two also designed the complex with exterior spaces for recreational sports and gardens to provide a higher quality of life for the residents.  The project was to symbolize the new era in the architecture of Russia and carry the symbol of the Sochi Olympic Games of 2014.  Once complete, the Living in Art complex will be included in the Guinness book of World Records as the world’s largest work of art.
