Barabeke in Florence with the Earlier Mona Lisa

I have been a digital artist since 2006, doing art for art’s sake, as a natural urge. Most of my works consist in editing and blending photos I take in extreme ways, without any hand drawing involved, creating with reality as seen through the camera a new reality of psychic and archetypal nature.

When I create, more than an artist I feel like a shaman summoning spirits, or an alchemist. That’s why I call my process transmutation.

I have an inclination for conceptual and performance art as I like to provide experiences that can challenge conventional thinking.

Lately I have been into taking paintings from masters of the past and make them my own with a style that I call transfigurations, which involves replicating the original painting thousands of times, with almost as many variations, forming a microcosm which I try to keep in harmony with the macrocosm of the transfigured artwork.

Visual art is just part of my craft, I am also a “very late beat poet“, the vehicle of Ten Commandments for the Digital Millennium (2kTenCom), and more…

I have embraced crypto and cryptoart (or NFT art) since an early stage. The links to my NFTs are on top of my site. Want to know 10 reasons why you should consider to collect my art? Read here.
