I was born in Italy and since I was little I've been interested in art and crafts: I was always watching art programs in television, buying art tools and trying new tecniques. Even if with time I improved as a crafter and sculptor I still struggle as an artist. I wasn't able to study art during my life and the lack of knowledge about basic perspective and anatomy often burdens me when I attempt to draw or paint. Exactly for this reason I decided to challenge myself to create simple works in differents traditional media to overcome my difficulties. These are some of the ones I was able to complete. I would love if you told me what you think of them!

Tainted sunset
This is my first attempt at painting. I used acrylic paint and a square piece of foam as canvas ( the side is 9.5 cm). I wanted to portray a bright red sunset over the sea. I started with the sea and the sky and after those were dry I added the sun and the black effect!
Nature goddess
This is my first attempt at using watercolors I know that both the drawing and the colouring are very simple but I'm still very satisfied because I love trying new art tecniques!
It depicts a nature goddess ( the figure on the left ) I also painted a snail some birds and some flowers to show the natural element at the center of the picture there is a wood sceptre the goddess is holding onto and on the right there is her knight with a flower shaped weapon I used an abstract background to keep things simple!
The vineyard
Out of al the works here this is the one I struggled with the most. To make it I used wine, tea and soy sauce. They all dripped very easily off the paper and took a lot more to dry than normal watercolors. In this work a man and a woman meet under a vineyard and a wine of glass. I made it in honor of my hometown very famous for its wine!
The bonds that connects us
To draw it I used gel pens, pencils and gold leaf. In the center there is a huge heart with colorful roots and branches that connects many people together and on the bottom I drew the sea of emotions we feel as we interact with each other
This work is 21.5x14.5 cm.
