Urban Harmony: Bridging City and Nature @ ME Milan il Duca

With the project “Urban Harmony: Bridging City and Nature”, ME Milan Il Duca transforms into a space of contrasts and connections, where the pulse of the city of Milan meets the quiet strength of the natural world. A vibrant hub where contemporary art creates dialogue between seemingly distant realms.

Through the distinct visions of two artists, the hotel offers an immersive journey across materials, forms, and sensations.

In the garden, Max Guadagno presents a series of copper sculptures — the metal reimagined to echo the textures and rhythms of nature. His works channel the quiet flow of organic life, turning solid matter into fluid, contemplative forms.

Inside, from the lobby to the common areas, Lis Sam blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture through a striking series of works. Within each canvas, vivid three-dimensional butterflies emerge from the surface, their carefully placed forms and colors composing expressive portraits. The result is a dynamic interplay between nature and identity, fragility and structure — a poetic reflection of the harmony between the organic and the urban.
