VASCO is a candle, a flame, a melting figure, a rising thought, a soul leaving the body. A face stretched by invisible forces. Oxblood red, iconic gaze. Identity melting upward. VASCO is raw theatrical essence, transformation, a thought that grows too tall for the body.
Hand painted on the face of Italy's rock icon Vasco Rossi.

Among the very first rapid, incisive photopainting experiments.
I used to play this creative game to find new illustrative inspiration, a brainstorming that gave rise to an entire line of my artistic research, still present and evolving today. An instinctive and thoughtless manipulation of newspaper images, producing new visuals defined by the fusion of realistic, photographic elements and highly textured, abstract brushstrokes.
