'I have never seen a color, a shape, a shade, or anything in nature that was wrong,' marone cinzano tells us. 'nature has incredible mathematics, physics, chemistry, ethics, philosophy. whenever I go into nature, I see answers personally. it’s beautiful, it’s correct. there is intelligence in nature.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
