UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND ARTWORK
Original drawings are one of a kind art pieces and will preserve a value that prints will never have. Original artworks are fragments of living art, the piece of paper where pencil, pen or brushes have passed leaving lines and colours. Original drawings are the result of creative and sometimes accidental acts, that’s why it is possible to have little imperfections. Those little imperfections are precious signs of uniqueness and authenticity.
MORE THAN A DRAWING
This is not just a piece of paper with pencil or ink on it. Inside this drawing there is all my being an artist. There is the time I spent to projects and create it, the many artistic experiments I run and the long learning process I went through before being able to fix on paper or canvases the images from my mind. There are all emotions and feelings that inspired me, sometimes even shadows. There is also the long way to turn into a job my great passion for art and the love for my work. This is more than a drawing: is a little piece of my story.
YOU CREATE NEW MEANINGS
I love things with a meaning, I always try to add a symbolic value to all I create and in private life I often speak through metaphors. Of course this reflects to my art and that’a why I hide so many meanings inside my drawings. But this is not over because the magic of artistic expression is that each one can interpret the same picture, illustration, painting, song, book in so many different ways… so in this drawing I put my emotions, my feeling, my story and now you can create new meanings for it through your emotions, feelings and story. My drawing will be yours. This is wonderful and make this art piece even more unique and precious.
