Acquerello su Cartoncino A4 rigido.

There are motorcycles that are not painted: they are evoked. The Laverda 750 is one of those. I painted it in watercolor not so much to immortalize the shape, but to let that roar shine through that still today, if I close my eyes, resonates inside me like a long and full note.
The choice of watercolor is not accidental. I wanted to use a light and fluid medium to describe a heavy and concrete machine. The bright and vibrant Laverda red moves on the paper with the same elegance with which the twin-cylinder touches 7000 rpm. The chrome is only suggested, never shouted. I prefer to leave room for the imagination, as the advertising posters of the past did.
The number 88 on the tail is a tribute to all those racing motorcycles that I dreamed of as a boy — the ones you saw only once, perhaps passing through town for an uphill race, and then remained in your memory for years.
I tried to keep the drawing clean, balancing the technical detail with a certain pictorial freedom: the bike is faithful in its proportions, but not caged in workshop manual lines. After all, that's not how we remember them: dream bikes are always a bit blurry, but full of personality.
This Laverda is part of a small series of watercolors that I'm making dedicated to historic and racing bikes. Gilera, Yamaha, Cagiva models are also part of it — each with its own soul, its own character. If you too have a special bike in your heart (or in your garage), I can paint it for you: on canvas, on paper, or on a ceramic support, as you prefer. All it takes is a message... and an engine to tell.

Schascia, born in 1976 and living in Milan, is a versatile artist who stands out for his passion for painting and sculpture. Self-taught, he has explored art without going through traditional academic paths, developing a unique style that combines a love of motorcycles and artistic abstraction.

His painting is an ode to modern motorcycles, vintage vehicles, as well as unique creations such as special motorcycles and café racers. Schascia captures not only the mechanical beauty of these machines but also their character and spirit through his vibrant canvases. His attraction to cubism and abstract art is evident in the way he deconstructs and reinvents these motorcycles, presenting them in new and fascinating ways.

In addition to his pictorial works, Schascia is passionate about sculpture, particularly the recreation of motorcycle parts in ceramic. This practice allows him to merge his love for mechanics and art, giving birth to innovative sculptures that combine functionality and aesthetics.
