Your gal was front row, soaking in the glitz, the glam, and, of course, the avant-garde of fashion's finest.But wait, there’s a twist!

Story of a commissioned painting: "Yin and Yang"

A special painting commissioned last February by a collector from the US. He commissioned two very big paintings, of the size of 240x170cm (94x66 inch) Today I will be talking to one of theme: “Yin and Yang” He really gave me freedom to express and to create, he told me what emotions he wanted the painting to convey, and a couple of directions, he wanted it to be exotic and to depict a duality. I showed him a couple of ideas, and we instantly agreed on the combination of geisha/samurai. A dreaming geisha distracted by the fly of a crane...

A close look to my painting “Dome”

This is a very dear painting to me and I would like to describe it a bit. It was October 2020 I was driving in a town nearby; I was going to the grocery store. We were all facing and dealing with a crazy and unbelievable historical moment. It was a cold afternoon and the sky was beautiful! Passing by the countryside with the car I could enjoy a beautiful sunset, the sky was pink, yellow, blue, gray… I had to stop, I found a perfect place, with beautiful fields and tall trees! Right there before my eyes, was the...

Perfect Example of Bright Expressionism

Perfect Example of Bright Expressionism

Vanilla is a painting that I created at the end of 2020 just as I was finishing to discover and codify my "Bright Expressionism" style This painting is very symbolic and representative. Colors and shapes do not follow the rules of reality. One group of trees is blue / purple and one is yellow / green. It is not clear what season of the year it is, the sky passes from full day, at sunset to a starry night at the same time. This painting was made completely with my fingers. The oil paint is very rich and full of texture. A body of water, almost too realistic, adds a touch of dynamism to the whole. The composition comes from my creativity and memory, a mix of memories between Lake Garda landscapes and mountain excursions. Special thanks to the collector who owns this painting.
