In this section you will find individual pieces and ideas executed in a single piece of work (or sometimes two). Each artwork has their own explanation and meaning which you'll be able to find directly next to or under them.
PHYSICS AND COLOR (2017)
In physics all frequencies of light combined create white, so here you have the focus of the piece being a completely white circle illustrating everything outside of it. There you have the primary colors which are the bases for every other color in art. Within many of the shapes so obtained you have small designs giving the piece more complexity.
This is a progress picture of the work on the left. Before adding color to the final piece it looked like this which I thought was interesting enough to include on the page.
ASIAN CULTURE PIECE (2017)
This work was inspired by the many customs of Asian countries. The idea behind it was to point out very different and distinct cultures from specific places in Asia while joining them in a harmonious fashion. The dragon is drawn without hands/feet so as to not reveal either its Chinese or Japanese origin. The lantern on the other hand is specifically Chinese with my added flare.The tree is another mixed object. It possesses the body of a Japanese bonsai while displaying the foliage of pink cherry blossoms, again illustrated in my style, which grow famously in China and India as well as Japan. The Japanese wave is a direct reference to Hokusai's wave and the final component is a species of crane found commonly in India.
DAD'S FATHER'S DAY GIFT (2018)
This piece was created as a Father's Day gift and inspired by the Slovakian street artist "Doke". This was fairly early on in my graffiti/street art experiment so my Idea was to emulate a similar style with a simple word, yet still interesting enough to draw. I also thought it would make a great gift! If you're a heavy reader you should check out some of (my dad) Luca
COMIC STYLE BUILDING (2017)
An experiment with one of my favorite sources of inspiration... comics! Here you see my attempt at a classic NYC building in two point perspective at night. The colors are darker because of the time of day but they also bring out the yellow light reflected on to the windows and the space around them. As much as I wanted to experiment with a classic 60s comic book style o
THE STILL WOMAN (2021)
This piece is unique in thought and execution. First of all I drew this on a plank of wood taken from an old bookshelf, a type of material I had never used before. The idea was to take a classic NY subway and set it into a surrealistic constant motion while using a still and lifelike figure to keep the viewer grounded. I had to make some changes to the piece because of the new material but I believe it came out near to what I had planned. There is also a subtle nod to a very famous piece of graffiti history with "TRACY 168 WiLD STYLE" written in graffiti and about to enter the frame. Overall I can see a lot more pieces developing fro this idea.
ON THE MOVE (2023)
A fairly unique piece for me, "On The Move" serves as an experiment with procreate, as it is a newly purchased software. I tried to use the app's features to draw a car in motion. Given that this was solely for experimental purposes there will likely be further renditions of the same idea. Learning from mistakes and remembering successes I plan to grow through 4 more pieces focusing on the same idea, all increasing in complexity and hopefully quality.
TKI & WESTCOAST GLOVE CONCEPT (THE KINTSUGI IDEA)
The Keeper Institute is a New Jersey based goalkeeper school led by former goalkeepers Jillian and Maria Lloyden. This is a concept I created as a possible glove design for West Coast, a GK glove company who plans to give the institute their own design. The idea comes from a historied Japanese art form named kintsugi, the act of mending broken objects with gold. It symbolically turns something's flaws into its strengths which, in my opinion, fits very well with a school. The entire glove is designed in the TKI white, black, and gold color way along with a few aqua colored accent pieces, the main color of West Coast. It is based off the design of one of West Coast's newest gloves, the Kona, and shows the TKI logo on the inside strap. TKI is also written on the outside strap in Japanese letters further accentuating the theme.
T.M.O.W. Book Cover (2021)
This is the cover of the second edition of "The Myth of Wine". It is similar to a wine textbook with the amount of information inside so we designed a minimalist cover which also follows suit with the title.
W.T.D.B. Book Cover (2020)
This cover design also follows the title closely. The book is broken up into 25 different chapters each on different topics of interest. The cover resembles different "pieces of the puzzle" coming together to form one coherent book cover.
"Sessanta Febbrai" Book Cover Design (2023)
I created this design as a minimalist addition to the cover of a poetry book. Although it is not the full cover it is the main element and is meant to set the mood of what's to come. It also plays with the primary colors accentuating the simplicity in the design. To see/buy the book click the link below.
WWI US PROPAGANDA (2020)
This American propaganda poster focuses on recruitment, which was the second most common topic of these posters after war bonds. Historically, American posters were more focused on making fun of the enemy than holding a dramatic and serious tone, and almost always included an icon of some sort.
A LOOK AT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS (2017)
At the time these were thee names of some of the most deadly school shootings and some of their most remembered victims. The text forms a gun from which a wilted flower is hanging out. Although I can't remember the exact event that caused this idea I do remember making this as a remembrance of the past shootings and as an anti-gun themed artwork.
FLORAL BIRTHDAY CARD (2019)
FLORAL BIRTHDAY CARD (2019)
I drew this piece as a birthday card to my aunt in Italy. The focal point is a small bouquet of flowers with a ribbon wrapped around it. The ribbon reads " CENTO DI QUESTI GIORNI" which is a common Italian phrase wishing the recipient for many more days like this.
ZORRO IN ARIZONA (2020)
This piece is personal to my experiences living for two months in Arizona. As part of an offer from an important soccer academy, I was given the chance to live on campus at the academy in Casa Grande, AZ. I was supposed to have stayed for 6 months but unfortunately my time was cut short due to CoVid-19. I sketched this out while living there and then completed it when I got back home.
WWI RUSSIA PROPAGANDA (2020)
This Russian propaganda poster offers my take on the government's request for contributions, specifically donations to the war efforts and war bonds. As a country with roughly 130 million people at the time, Russian propaganda was focused much less on recruitment and much more on financials. It loosely translates to "CHOOSE THE MILITARY 5 1/2% LOAN; MORE MONEY MORE SHELLS".
DYNAMITE DETAILING AND CAR WASH (2021)
DYNAMITE DETAILING AND CAR WASH (2021)
This is a scaled and detailed final sketch of a future mural of mine. The idea was something car/car wash related and after creating some different sketches the owner decided on this. The tire smoke of a sports car (inspired by a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta) holds the name of the car wash while also covering up a city skyline in the background.
COLONIAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRL'S FIELD HOCKEY LOGO CONCEPT (2018)
In the Spring of 2018 a high school in the suburbs of Philadelphia was searching for a new and improved logo for their field hockey team. Conveniently enough, my little sister was on the team at the time and informed me of the open call. This was my submission, a modern design incorporating the team colors, the sport, and the girls who played it. I also drew a font to accompany the new logo.
