Omaggio a Torino Painting

"Omaggio a Torino" is an art work that I made in acrylic color on canvas using ascii art technique. The painting, the first of mine in which the subject is a monument, was born during a stay in Turin. One winter evening, a monday of December, I was walking in the city center going towards the "Mole Antonelliana". I was curious to look closely at it. The city seemed to me desolate that night, my only friends were: the sound of my steps and the echo of shouting schoolchildren that I saw far away from me. It was a good night, the sky was starry and the moon, full, lighted up the city buildings with the characteristic amber color. I was calm and lost in thought, when, at a certain point, I realized that I lost my way. I was in a little alley, not knowing where I needed to go. The moon was not any more visible and I was not able to hear the chatter of the schoolchildren. The enviroment seemed to me vaguely sinister and only the unexpected seen of the Mole, which was pointing out to the pale moon, reassured me.
