Art inspiration: My typical day consists of Italian coffee, thinking. All my activities are mainly inside myself, inside the apartment, inside the workshop. I have a year's worth of paint and blank canvases. I'm impressed by the aesthetics of luxury brands. Precisely expensive ones. I am often busy hunting for them in second hand clothing stores. Not new, but a little vintage, retro with history. When I wear Brioni, Canali, Versace it also has a big impact on me and then on my paintings. Warm times of freedom are especially attractive from music. Not now, but then, hippie times. Vinil times, I caught them. Genesis, Beatles, Doors. But I also saw the days of street music cassettes. All this black culture. Passed through the soul. Consuming these things is important to me. A kind of cultural artistic product. The combination of my interest in music and clothing gives me good taste. It is very important. Taste. Cultivating good taste is the most important thing in an artist's career.
Style: The brightest colors in the palette fall on your eyes. They are united by background red. The author’s signature, recognizable red color permeates everything here. From the depths of these rich artistic techniques, red girls look at us. This is a signature character that the author developed over 5 years of continuous research. Bringing to perfection the form, emotions and fullness of life of these creatures. An absolutely unique author's original character. All this on canvas with respect for the classic handmade techniques of artists. A true painting of a new generation that will take its place in art history.
Favourite Artists: Pablo Picasso blue period, Jean-Michel Basquiat
Favourite piece you have worked on: A good adventure for me was drawing a red girl in a spacesuit in the painting Untitled (7857). It felt like a real spacewalk for me.
