In Federico Tosi’s series of volcanic landscape paintings, volcanic cones rise against turbulent, ash-filled skies, while flashes of red and orange suggest lava, like a subterranean energy breaking through the surface. The scenes represented in these small oil paintings on canvas appear both primordial and futuristic: less depictions of specific places than images of nature as an overwhelming, transformative force. For Tosi, the volcano is connected to origins. Historically, volcanic eruptions have shaped landscapes, produced fertile ground, and contributed to the conditions from which life emerges. Here, destruction is therefore not presented as an end, but as a beginning — a violent process of regeneration and renewal. The series reflects the artist’s broader interest in environmental transformation, extinction, ageing, and dystopian futures. Tosi’s volcano paintings suggest a future after catastrophe, where nature’s destructive power also becomes the condition for new forms of life.
