I recently returned to this painting, still working on the face and particularly the eyes to improve the look. The result is that the lion is even more impressive, giving that effect of sovereignty that the lion represents for me.
Read moreThere was a period that I was very focused on details. Also on a very clean painting, which would gave me a feeling of reality, or at least as I perceived it, with intense colors. This way of painting gave me a lot of peace and tranquility. In this painting in addition to oil painting I also added sand. Mixing oil paint with sand makes the painting more matheric and added even more work to the painting, which I needed a lot at that time, in the years from 2005 onwards, being anxious, this work forced me to focus on details and the technique that I had created, and besides giving me peace it made me estrange and forget the world.
Read moreI must say that despite the initial rebellion and frustration of not feeling free to act, this quarantine is stimulating my creativity and now the idea that it ends creates a little anguish, as much as it created anguish at the beginning when it seemed a limitation of my freedom, also because I had planned a travel for a long time that clearly I could not do. Eventually, not being able to carry out my activity as a B&B, , Arte and Cuisine, which lately took up all my time and energy, now I can finally dedicate myself to everything that in recent times I have not been able to do more than rarely, especially painting. But not only painting, I am constantly stimulated to do different and new things, like I have decided to integrate all my writings and I am writing a book on my story. Then I cook and I garden.
Read moreFollowing an inspiration, I decided to paint a piece of furniture which before I didn’t like, it was very dark, it made the room where it was, old and gloomy, in short, those old-fashioned furniture, moreover without much value.
So I decided to give it a value by painting it, to refresh, renew and contemporaryize the room. And I must say that I like the result. On the other hand, I live at Arte and Cuisine, which is also our bed and breakfast, home restaurant and personal art gallery, here we have no limits to our creativity. Come and visit us!
This is the latest portrait I made on commission, of a couple this time. What I immediately liked about this work, already in the first strokes, is the composition. I like a work when it comes off well immediately. It preserves intact its spontaneity and freshness. If I’m working hard to get it right … Well it’s different, that’s all. 35 x 50 cm Sold Read more
I happened to be at home on Friday when your package arrived, I ripped it open, impatient to find my treasure. Thank you. What an artist you are!! With just a few brush strokes you capture the main features of a face. The more I look at it, the more there seems to be a glow emanating from it - I guess that's the master in me you see. And the picture ready to be hung on the wall!! I found the perfect place for it right away. It is in my office, by my computer. So I see it every day, I look at it to dive into the depths of my mastery and even when absentmindedly noticing, it is present all the time.
I put your painting above the sofa in the living room and looks great. It gives the viewer a cosmic sense, the viewer is shown in a spatial-temporal dimension that has a strong archetypal cosmogony call. You can release yourself from the symbol shown and transmute into abstraction that becomes an objective correlative of the deepest natural recall, intimately recognizable by all. Some of your abstract works recall events of the super nove or similar, you can convey the feeling of this creative power, not communicating the materialistic descriptive scientific side, but you can grasp its essence, keeping intact the symbol, even if detached from symbolic representation, and taken in an exciting and emotional form.
Your works are good for the soul! You can see people in the soul. Amid a sea of colored emotions I chose a painting, I took away with me what in that meeting was the perfect choice, it is as to be close to that sweet mystery that you always puts in your works. Your works also convey a message of depth similar to the works of Modigliani. You're amazing! You are great and transmit energy.
My original portrait just arrived and it is SO amazing! I thought that the photo was incredible but the original is just magic. Thank you so much!
