Nested concentric structures widely exist in nature and designed systems with circles, polygons, polyhedra, and spheres sharing the same center or axis. It still remains challenging to construct discrete nested architecture at (supra)molecular level. Herein, three generations (G2−G4) of giant nested supramolecules, or Kandinsky circles, have been designed and assembled with molecular weight 17,964, 27,713 and 38,352 Da, respectively. In the ligand preparation, consecutive condensation between precursors with primary amines and pyrylium salts is applied to modularize the synthesis. These discrete nested supramolecules are prone to assemble into tubular nanostructures through hierarchical self-assembly. Furthermore, nested supramolecules display high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive pathogen methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and negligible toxicity to eukaryotic cells, while the corresponding ligands do not show potent antimicrobial activity. Is art infuencing science or vice versa? where do the images come from, the Nature or the Mind? Inspired by Kandinsky circles, we focused our attention on seeking of an efficient (supra)molecular expression of the nested structure based on coordination-driven self-assembly. Since early 1990s16, coordination-driven self-assembly has witnessed an explosion in constructing various 2D and 3D supramolecular architectures17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 owing to the highly directional and predictable feature of coordination, as well as the structural information instilled in the building blocks.

Silvia is an Italian artist born in Rimini. She attended the Fine Art Academy in Bologna studying Art History, Psychology, Drawings, Illustrations, Anatomy, Theatre, and, above all, she fell in love with Artistic Anthropology, thanks to the amazing teaching of Mr. Roberto Daolio. Her work is largely influenced by the art of Aubrey Beardsley, Francisco Goya, Lucien Freud, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, René Magritte, Klimt, Schiele, and the photography of Robert Mapplethorpe, Edward Weston and Erwin Olaf. In her illustrations she works with pen, ink, watercolours and Pantone colours on paper. In her paintings she works with oil colours. She doesn't do prints. All her artworks are original works made with love. Growing up in a town like Santarcangelo Di Romagna, close to Rimini, town of painters and artists of all sorts, gave her the possibility to admire the beauty of the simple things and be amazed by artistic minds. Silvia is environmentally aware and with her passion for diving comes the inspiration for her Fish and Big Fish collections. Fish is life. Fish is work. Fish is a blessed given from Mother Nature. Fish is simple yet beautiful in its simplicity. Fish smell and it is real like only fish can be. Fish is part of our roots and heritage, it's a classic, it's a metaphor of life and it is a never-ending source of inspiration. Living by the beach for Silvia is the only possible option. In 2010 she moved in the sunny Australia and she set her home studio in Bondi Beach. She works both in Australia and Italy. Leo, non smoker, massively affected by the full moon. She loves fish.
