The song of love

This photo is my personal interpretation of Giorgio De Chirico's masterpiece, "The Song of Love.ā€
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.
