From time to time I work with mixed media. These can be artist books, objects or paper collages. The small-format work entitled “3347” is one of the works that are created with painting, chalk pencils and paper collages on paper.

Erotismi tra Utopia e Distopia II - Eroticism between Utopia and Dystopia II

A selection of photographic works from the erotic art segment of my ongoing portfolio, "A State Of Bared" will be shown in the exhibition

Erotismi tra Utopia e Distopia II - Eroticism between Utopia and Dystopia II

03/12/ - 14/12/2024 - opening 03/12/2024

OGA - Ospizio Giovani Artisti,

via Cernaia 15, Rome, Italy

This exhibition aims to offer a small journey through the intricate realms of human desire where the boundaries between utopia and dystopia blur and sensuality is intertwined with uncertainty. Works that explore the dichotomy of eroticism: a force that is both beautiful and disturbing. From idealized landscapes of utopian pleasure to the shadows of dystopian control this exhibition seeks to delve into the complexity of our most primal instincts. A delicate balance between liberation and constraint pleasure and danger. Provocative themes to challenge social norms and reflect on the profound impact of eroticism on the human psyche. Whether you are drawn to the euphoric visions of utopia or the haunting echoes of dystopia this exhibition invites you to engage in a dialogue that transcends borders and delves into the essence of human desire.

New works and motifs in my online shop

New works and motifs in my online shop. All new works are physical and original in contrast to my digital dowload works which are already available in my shop which can be downloaded directly

The works presented in this shop are a little different from my other general works that I create as a visual artist. The motifs are more colorful and include a wide range of styles and motifs. From abstract to figurative, from monochrome to very colorful. Including nude, urban and nature motifs. In addition, the preferred representation of the subjects of most of my works are in square and round formats, just to make them a little distinctive and individual. Finally, the scale and size of the physical/original works fall into the miniature category, none of the square formats are larger than 20 x 20 cm or 30 x 21 cm for the rectangular formats.
