Printmaking, Etching on Paper
Size: 5.1 W x 7.1 H x 0 D in
Ships in a Tube
It is a printmaking hand pulled (etching, aquatint and drypoint) on paper prepared according to ancient methods by a master papermaker from Fabriano. The purpose was a charity event for the national association of families of people with disabilities, and for this reason I needed an ancient technique that also allowed me to produce different specimens. This is the artist's proof, while the limited edition is 5 copies; the matrix is a zinc plate. The subject is padre Matteo Ricci, the Italian mathematician Jesuit who in the 17th century was welcomed in China by the Emperor. He is caught when he starts to draw his globe. Impressed by the engravings of the great Rembrandt van Rijn, I posed as a model for this image. Image size: 13 cm x 18 cm - paper size: 28 cm x 38 cm. This etching is being sold without a frame

I was born and I live in Macerata, a medieval town in Italy. I started to love art after a trip to Holland, where I was overwhelmed by Rembrandt’s mysterious modulations of light. Then, I have been studying the references of the Dutch Master, up to the analysis of the creative processes of the Renaissance artists, even through studies on the various restoration by museums and retrieving information on several lost masterpieces. Going on with my research, as a self-taught painter I started using formulations of oil colors and supports compatible with those of the “old masters” in order to get a better duration reliability and thinking of their ability to communicate intense emotions. As a result, current issues such as feminicide and racism, or some classic themes like the initiation to Alchemy have been dealt in a contemporary reworking of techniques, styles and iconography of the past, creating in the studio my own compositions in which references to space and time are reduced to essential. I would like to stimulate the public to reflect on the surrounding reality, also through provocations, urging them to observe my artworks with greater attention, and challenging people to discover their several meanings. | Selected Public Collections Italy: S.
