- Ars IncognitoIt's all about mystery, exoticism, masks and the art of undercoverThe deliberate omission of information is attributed to Leonardo, but there were many Renaissance artists who used the device of uncertainty to enhance the 'mirage effect' in his portraits. Evaporating key areas of recognition of expression (such as eye and mouth corners), is relegated to the opinion of the viewer. That is why some works, in accordance with our moods, behave differently, as if it was a magic trick.

Botticelli adorned the naked of Venus under a waterfall of hair, dispatching the viewer's imagination the idleness of solve the hidden parts, as the numbers in a sudoku. Now Venus would be born so brazen, fresh, gourmet fighter that cherubim will cry of pure emotion, blinded by her great passion.
Now –as always– Venus is still the coolest of the Parnassus, home of the Muses. -

...Coming from a remote location from the Orient
Often the subject is so academically imposed that it is inevitable to fall into a 'genre painting' even in an innovative project. The controversy, the revision of traditional iconography and traditional values have a sophisticated involvement in combination with contemporary elements that crystallize the work in a desired shock effect. So, let's japanPainting2012 -
Oscar Wilde said that only sacred things deserve to be profane, and I would add also the opposite: only the profane worth to be sacred.Painting2012 -
A review of the aesthetic of the '40s used by the Divas in fashion and film, and some faces are an interpretation of the model used in the eighteenth century lithographs. The compositions are based on the solid counterpoint formed between the range of old and contemporary.Drawing, Painting2012 -
Jellyfish are like women and art: beautiful and fragile, but stinging. Feminine beauty is as admirable as the genius, because they do not need arguments to move us. As in the Medusa's myth, one only glance can turn you unavoidably in a stone.Painting2012 -

–I look in the paint all that surrounds the aura of the classics, the commitment of the timeless that nourishes the bodies of a vigorous momentum. A painting tender and yet disturbing, evocative, lively, with body, restraint and elegance.Drawing, Painting2012 -
Each year, on June 23rd and 24th a great celebration is being held. On Saint Johns day it's a kind of Middle Ages in the city, there are also medieval jousts organized. This fiesta is very important and an old tradition, they ride on horses in the city. This festivity takes place in the city of Ciutadella on the island of Menorca, Spain.
The celebrations of Sant Joan has recently become much more than a local festival, all the visitors have a lot of admiration and love for these celebrations but about the island inhabitants and in particular the “ciutadellencs” –the inhabitants of Ciutadella– you can better talk of passion, drive and boundless enthusiasm.
I am a "ciutadallenc", I love Sant Joan and this is my humble tribute.Drawing, Painting2012
