Shyla Nicodemi took pictures of a painting session in my studio, here some selected shots:

Going through the archives i’ve found these prints done last year

Some months ago, way before the covid 19 disaster, Carlo Regoli took those pics while i was working

During the last year i’ve been painting a lot on pictures.
Working on pictures is just a next step in my path, the creation of an hybrid between photography and painting. These are part of a private collection, but there’s a lot more works from this series that i should show pretty soon at the Vicolo Folletto Art Factories in Reggio Emilia
