The exhibition in Trequanda is approaching its end, and so is my brief holiday.
I look forward to get the paintings photographed and loaded up here on the website, since I didn’t find the time before the opening.
One of them is destined to Norway, one of them has a still uncertain destiny as for who will own it…we’ll see !

I am about to start a new series of commissionned portraits; the first one is an important challenge for me (I will explain better why later) and in addition I would like to try for this one a new technique which is called “Mischtechnik” (Mische Technique) and was developped by the Dutch Old Masters at the end of the 15th century (wish me good luck ^_^).

I’m also working on a new large painting on the theme of Parthenogenesis (WIPs coming !).

The “Tuscan Dream” series is far from being completed, I have actually painted only 6 pieces with this inspiration, so it is barely begun (and I need  its light, peaceful and easy, comic-ish athmosphere around myself).
Yet, counterbalancing this simplicity, I have some more complicated and personal themes I’d like to explore, and since I have more or less clarified which technique and what grade of realism I’d like to use for those, why not start immediately, following the flow of inspiration ?

Finally the new exhibition has been defined.

It will be in Trequanda (SIENA province) in Via Maresca 1 (in the space which was the old Conte Matto restaurant).

I will show the “Tuscan Dream” collection plus some female nudes and a couple of portraits (not yet published online).

Besides also my dear photographer friend Marco Madon Grillo will exhibit there 11 of his wonderful photographs (funny side-note, we wanted to call this the Pisces Exhibition since we’re both born on the same date!).

The vernissage will be for both exhibitions on Sunday 9th of August at 5pm.
Please, if you plan on attending, let me know in some way a little before, we’d appreciate.

After this, opening times will be every day from 5pm to 8pm, plus it will stay open during all evening events in Trequanda (dinners in the Piazza, concerts…). For a complete program please have a look here.
The show is organized by the Commune of Trequanda.
