Brussels,Belgium.

I am in Brussels at the moment.
Just doing some canvases for a friend.
I still have heaps of sketches left to do, and when i will have some spare time i will put them in the blog. I think you will love them!
Just be patient!!

See you soon!

"Nuns"

I love this painting.
It came out of some sketches I was working on. I showed them to an old friend of mine.
He had just finished restoring his place and he wanted something colourful in his apartment.
He liked that sketch which he called "Nuns"......"Hey,i like this one,they look like Nuns!" he said...."ok,let's do it!".
It is in Rome.

The Verve cover album

This is particular indeed.
My friend from England(yeah,the same one,crazy for the Verve and Richard Ashcroft)asked me to imagine a cover for a Verve record and to put it onto a canvas.
Well,that's what i did!!!




Here you are.

Audrey Hepburn & Opera House.

I painted these canvases for a friend in Milan.
She likes Audrey Hepburn's style and i tried to catch it in this painting.She really appreciated it.
The second work is about my beloved Sydney Opera House.
I was actually glad that she picked this one amongst my sketches; I had been thinking of making this painting since my Australian days.

Cars.

As i said before i studied car design.I love car's illustrations too and i was excited to work on something I have always had a passion for.
I enjoy these kind of works even if they take a lot of time, patience and accuracy.

This is the brand new Ferrari California, that i painted it for a friend of mine.
It is a water colours artwork,i hope you like it.

Rockstar canvases for friends

Luckily i´m not the only one into music; most of my friends are hard rockers as much as me.....
More and more they have been asking me for some artworks about their favorite singers and bands. This is my Jim Morrison; i made it for a friend of mine in Rome. If you want to see it you can find it in his living room.

This is my biggest painting instead.
It's in Verona(Italy)and i've done it for two good friends of mine.They got married last June and it was my Honeymoon present for them. Nobody would refuse it!
I must admit that it's quite impressive when you see it hanging on the wall of their lounge; I quite proud about this one.
It shows Liam & Noel Gallagher from Oasis.

Here we have Richard Ashcroft's portrait.
It is placed in England,a friend of mine asked me to do it, he wanted to put it in his new flat.The lead singer from the Verve is one my all time favourite rockstars,so it has been a pleasure for me to paint it.We both likes his music,and i couldn't say no to her!
