Today (2024) i have therefore 66 years that i do portraits the first of which was dedicated to napoleon bonaparte of whom i had had several stories of great enterprises that had me passionate. In fact, in my life i have read many biographies of great characters that have always fascinated me because they were the only ones i could read because they told true stories. I explain better instead what happened while i read the novels: my fantasy overlapped to that of the author and so only after dozens of pages i noticed it and had to go back. In fact i did not remember what i had read with my eyes and not with my mind! returning to the portraits i used almost all techniques from pencil to pastel painting up to digital processing adding another reserved only portrait: the photo collage. It is a photo (taken by me or received from a collector like you) that i digitally process with a technique invented by me (and recorded) that, after various framing tests, allows me to process the final image on the computer.
