Petronius

Did you ever hear of "Scansionist Painting"? If not, i probably am the founder of this new style; so the painting whose photo is here enclosed is the first ever Scansionist work. This technique may apply to any kind of painted image: figurative, abstract, etc., but i use it to create a very classical image. A sort of hypermodern impressionist style. Actually the image is obtained firstly by use of advanced technologies, such as digital photography and computerized graphics. As a last step, the picture is created, colour by colour and dot by dot, through the entire canvas, by a further handmade artistic interpretation. It took me 9 months of time to produce the first painting and 6 months for the second one. Both them are Oil on Canvas; each made of 256 colour nouances and 70,610 brush-strokes. !! Important !! In order to fully appreciate the quality of my works, you must stand 4 -7 meters away from the wall, or 1 - 2 meters from your computer screen for the photos. Petronius.

I can simply define my work as "Non-Contemporary Art".
Indeed it 's not a message sent to the contemporaries, even less to future humankind;
but more like an attempt to explain some elements of the modern world to peoples of the past:
to our ancestors, who populated the exciting, thrilling periods of Middle Age and Renaissance.

Besides painting, i write sonnets in classical Italian hendecasyllables;
just to be better understood by Middle Age people.

Apart from that, I 'm a simple artisan of the paintbrush,
selling his canvases at so much per square meter.

Subjects depicted in my paintings are some of the worldwide known Art-Photography models.
Pictures of these models, made by the most celebrated Photographers, are dowloaded by millions of people worldwide, from online magazines and sites.

So these girls can rightfully be cosidered as icons of today's "virtual" reality.
They are epitomizing the concept of young natural female beauty, as the Nymphs did in the past.

I am an artisan, using my skill and tools to produce some beautiful things.
My handicraft tools are: a computer and its graphic applications, the digital camera, easel, colours, paint-brushes, canvases, etc.
Thus my pricing policy is very simple.
As for any artisan, the appraisal of each work is made to measure.
Presently the fixed price is € 11,000 per square metre.
Prices are including an elegant frame, not including fright and delivery costs.
