    A Glimpse of the Future

    A sweet sneak peek inside the studio. Working on the early steps of a brand new series titled 'Eye Candy'. Stay tuned to see how these textures will transform on canvas.

    Digital Composition and Planning

    Digital Composition and Planning

    The digital stage of my creative process. For me, painting is just the final act; the real magic lies in the creation, the vision, and the initial idea. Here, I am composing the placement of the blue tit and the lightbulb to build the perfect blueprint for my final artwork.

    Setting the Scene

    Setting the Scene

    The physical setup for my artwork 'The Tiny Snake and the Candy Jar'. I curate the lighting, background, and physical objects in my studio first. Later, I integrate my digital photomontages to create the complete reference before painting.

    Studying Sweetness

    Studying Sweetness

    A close-up look at the real reference models I use for my 'Animali Fantastici' series. Holding and studying a real butterfly-shaped marshmallow allows me to observe how light wraps around its sugary edges, translating realism into a surreal world.

    Sugary Textures

    Sugary Textures

    Capturing textures and sweetness. A close-up look at a recent canvas focusing on the soft, sugary textures of marshmallows floating against a detailed, patterned background. Layering glazes allows me to build this surreal depth.

    From Reference Study to Canvas

    From Reference Study to Canvas

    Behind every realist painting is a dedicated reference study. I personally set up and photograph real elements—like these colorful macarons—to analyze light. Depending on the complexity of the artwork, I also combine my personal photos with digital photomontages to build the perfect reference before rendering it on canvas.

    Measuring Scales

    Measuring Scales

    Work in progress from my 'Surreal Dreams' series. I love finding creative ways to map out geometric shapes on canvas, like using a simple jar lid to perfect the scale and placement of the lightbulbs before diving into the detailed brushwork.

    Inside the Creative Space

    Inside the Creative Space

    A glimpse inside my studio space. This is where the magic happens, surrounded by colors, brushes, and layers of textures. Every painting takes hours of focus, patience, and direct creative energy.
