The Book Project

"Desenzano del Garda, in the shadows of the Italian Alpes, looking over Lake Garda, for almost 40 years, a local man quietly lived in the world of imagination until a publisher discovered his works. Paolo Avigo recited poetry in images of fairytales, riddles, paradoxes, and hearsay. Seeing his works turned the viewers into Alice in Wonderland. From childish doodle to fleeting painting to soothing abstract, Paolo's paintings have a special quality that appeals to the child in us yet incredibly sophisticated and mystical. In 125 pages, this book tries to share to the world the vision of a common man, simple, yet tender and beautiful like the first sight of sunlight on a cold winter day." D. Van (Toku Publishings - Los Angeles)

The mermaid

Currently working at two book projects! Hope they will both see the light by the end of 2019. This sketch is for the illustration of a poetry and travel memories collection by Italian poet Lidia Masci. Inspiring and challenging project. - The mermaid The sand smelled warm, she vanished at every caress of the wind. (Lidia Masci)

IF... Intention

It was my firm intention to post something this week after such a long time! And I chose one of the illustrations created for the Sketchbook Project 2012, this is the drawing that takes its title from the theme of my Sketchbook: a path through the trees. Like some other illustations of the projects this is freely inspired by the novel "Il Barone Rampante" by Italian writer Italo Calvino, the story of a young Baron who one day climbs up a tree with the intention of spending the rest of his life among leaves and branches. Here you can view the entire project, comments and opinions are always welcome! the sketchbook project 2012
