Aspelia Naturalis

Fifteen years of exploring the small-scale beauty of the vast and unexpected.

‘Aspelia Naturalis’ is a stunning coffee table book featuring the fine art landscape photography of Silvio Augusto Rusmigo from his homeland, Cyprus. This collection showcases the island's unique and breathtaking landscapes, from the sea to its peaks, spanning over a decade of the artist's career. Accompanied by personal accounts and experiences, as well as historical and environmental information, the book aims to inspire readers to explore beyond their everyday patterns and discover the limitless possibilities of this often-overlooked beautiful place. Connecting the past to the present and looking into the future of Cypriot nature and countryside, the book borrows its title from the old Roman name of the island, Aspelia, mentioned by Pliny in his book 'Naturalis Historia'.
