Description from the seller
Digital painting on transmuted photography. (Inverted from positive to negative)
The skies I represent with an almost unreal appearance are not mere aesthetic choices; they are metaphors of the state of our environment and of the consequences that human intervention has caused. Each work aims to invite reflection, to question our impact and to imagine where we are heading if we do not recover the balance lost.
This collection of works reflects on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. Through powerful and highly contrasted images, I seek to capture a world where the atmosphere seems altered, unsettled and transmuted.
Urban scene of Downtown from MaNew Jersey.
A novel photograph in which the mute is shown transformed and somehow reversed. The lights become shadows, the shadows into lights, the colors transform into their complementary ones and magic arises. It is a transmuted photograph with the inverted positive that becomes what used to be called negative, like silver halide films but greatly enhanced with a lot of digital painting work.
These city views are the magical result of extensive research and work—both intellectual and manual with the computer. A recognizable urban landscape but totally transformed by means of light and color. A unique technique in the world, as far as I know.
Artwork around the world, in order of number of works and photographs:
Spain, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Austria, Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland, Mexico, Luxembourg, Romania, Australia.
Seller's Story
My personal artwork.
Oil paintings on black and white photographic grisaille on canvas.
Dreamlike views of cities. Natural transformation of the city and the urban environment to make it more pleasant and livable.
Recreated views of the city. An idealized vision of the city surrounded by nature.
A panoramic vision of a reinvented city.
Nature recovers the space that always belonged to it.
