COMICS – Pulp at the Ferme de Buisson
It was two years ago that I visited the Pulp comics exhibition at the Ferme de Buisson, just outside Paris.
I had recently decided to resume a full-scale reflection on the art of comics. Composition, colour, depth, colour choices but above all the aspects of narrative sequencing. Great inspirations (and a bit of envy), from Catherine Meurisse to Alberto Breccia, from the art of printing, inseparable from the creative process, to the feminist humour of Posy Simmons.

Travel sketchbook workshop – the Mali
This is the drawing I made during the interesting workshop held by my friend and fellow artist Barnaba Salvador, an expert watercolourist and traveller, to learn more about techniques for making travel carnets
Watercolor on paper, ink, pen
2022
A connoisseur of African lights and cultures, he accompanied us on a discovery of MALI, with a montage of different views from different distances: a mosque, a pirogue and a close-up view of a woman wearing large gold wedding earrings. The images treated in watercolour and finished with retouches in pen and Indian ink are then accompanied by written information. There is a good reflection of the distribution of the written parts and the composition of the picture.
The workshopg was organised by the very active ONDA CREATIVA association in Padua, of which I am a member and at which I offer my WEBINARS on art history and drawing in Italian and French.

The Beauty and the Beast
La BELLE ET LA BÊTE
Wite anb black ink / gouache on paper
60 × 30 cm
2017
The work, inspired by Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast, seeks to evoke a sense of magic and enchantment. While the film refers to Gustave Doré and Johannes Vermeer, the artist has found inspiration in a random selection of images from a book on gardens, reminding us that nature, in which the female figures wander, is the real protagonist. The black and white ink work mixes the images in a positive and negative geometry.
