In this description you will not find what this painting means to me. You will not find its inspiration, nor how many photos I took or how many sketches came before the canvas. My collectors are free people. Independent thinkers. People who feel, who perceive, who live through emotion. I create paintings for those who want more than reality can offer. What matters to me is what you see in this painting and how it makes you feel. Whether you are looking right now at a landscape, an animal, a portrait, or an abstract piece makes no difference. What I can tell you, and stand behind completely, is this: all my canvases are handmade and custom-sized for me, in Italy. Before I begin, I prepare a base made of gesso and Italian marble dust. Each painting is built through layers of ink, acrylic, and oil, with time, effort, and sometimes tears and swear words. My secret ingredient is love and the commitment to give my best every single time. I can guarantee that every painting I release is the best I was capable of at that moment. For every work you see, there are at least two that never see the light of day, because I did not consider them worthy. So no, I will not tell you something like: "this sunset is inspired by photos I took in Italy." It is obvious. And it does not matter. The only question that matters is this: how does this painting make you feel? Show more
