This photo is my personal interpretation of Giorgio De Chirico's masterpiece, "The Song of Love.”
My goal was to capture the scene with my own perspective, not just replicate it. Choosing a more organic approach, I avoided comping elements in post-production.
The integration of 3D printing technology was crucial in bringing this vision to life, and many elements within the composition, including the hand-decorated head of the Apollo Belvedere statue, were personally crafted.
This photo pays homage to the original masterpiece, blending traditional art richness with contemporary techniques.
I was born in Italy and grew up in a family of musicians and photographers, whose passion for the art form profoundly influenced me.
At the beginning of my career, I embarked on the path of an illustrator, employing traditional art techniques.
As I continued to develop my skills, I naturally gravitated towards realistic decorations and paintings, particularly the fascinating technique of trompe l'oeil. It was a relatively straightforward step that allowed me to make my work larger and bolder before eventually transitioning to digital art and exploring modern technology.
