Portraits
In ths paragraph a selection of the paintings dedicated to machines and speed. With this artistic project the challenge is to interpret the deeper meaning of shape, colors and motion that evoke an event,
developing a new technique, called “painting with light”, to build and conceive a painting, extracting and giving value to the esthetic contents.
In some cases the artworks are completed collocating the object, the car, in its own world to amplify its deeper nature, its real essence.
These Artwoorks are painted on canvas using oil colors or acrilic or mixed media.

Artist notes: "A Ferrari is immersed in a misty world; spirits of the past surround it, in this metaphysical painting. I wanted to symbolize the sense of human life and actions that resound in the reality of history, with memories which are untouchable, like spirits. Although time has faded away, the corporeal Ferrari remains in uncorrupted glory with the intensity of its body color." Oil on canvas 150cm. X 96cm.
Artist Notes: "Two cars duel in the early hours at Le Mans. The Alfa Romeo is attacked by a Porsche 917, their lights piercing through the mist as they approach the curve. Though only a two liter engine, the spirited Alfa could hold its own against the mighty Porsches!" Watch the video!
