How.

Original drawings made with black and white acrylic gouache and ink on paper

or paperboard. Some drawings reworked in photoshop.

My works born out on a white sheet, black and white, ink, acrylic paint and pen, alternatively or all together. They are made in sizes up to A3 paper (42x29,7)cm, and then reworked in photoshop to bring them in larger sizes, exacerbating the stretch and making it much more “present”. I like to leave them in a monochrome style but added “havana/cardboard“as background and inserting white where I like. Work reworked in photoshop, then, become large-format prints on PVC becoming unalterable in colors, time and in consistency. Practically eternal. Printing on PVC is made ​​possible only by the use of modern professional software for controlling and managing images.
The alternative to my artistic work consists in creating jobs directly on high thickness cardboard, only black or white. I find that the combination of white and black on a support so poor as consistent and wonderfully responsive to acrylic paint, creates a nice feeling when I draw above, but also to the visual enjoyment becoming the work a real inflexible objects. In addition to acrylic paint, sometimes I use the ink and the ball-point pen that allows me to draw the scale of gray.
The primary motivation that drives me to draw, is the “capture“ of the image for its own sake, without filters and without second thoughts. I am a lover of photography, as well as photography, which I use for a lot of my work, that captures an image, single, static, unrepeatable, when I draw, I try to do the same thing, looking and reproducing on paper what I see or think to see, without drafts, without evidence, without returning to the sudden, without hesitation because I think it does not matter what objectively is, it seems, but what we see subjectively and not necessarily only through the eyes. For this reason, my figures do not have to be perfect and do not have to represent reality exactly as it is, but they are only what my subconscious see and may hand reproduces.
