Artwork Process

My Approach To Creating Each Work Varies According To Its Concept, Subject, And Visual Structure. In My Digital Painting Practice, I Combine Drawing, Color Application, Layering, Form Development, And Painterly Texturing To Gradually Build Each Image.

In Some Works, The Composition Is Developed Through An Emphasis On Negative Space And The Relationship Between Empty Areas And The Primary Forms. In Others, Form And Space Are Constructed Through Preliminary Drawing, Successive Color Applications, And The Gradual Development Of Visual Details.

Throughout The Process, I Use Different Brushes And Approaches To Color Application According To The Needs Of Each Work. In Some Pieces, Colors Are Initially Placed In A Simplified And Structured Manner And Are Then Gradually Developed Through Additional Layers Of Color, Light, Shadow, And Texture.

My Aim Is To Use The Possibilities Of Digital Painting To Create Works In Which Form, Line, Color, Composition, And Texture Interact With One Another. I Approach Digital Technology Not Simply As A Technical Tool, But As An Independent Medium Through Which I Can Develop My Visual Language And Preserve The Painterly Qualities Of My Work.

Under the Crimson Moon

This contemporary coastal scene brings together geometric houses and the natural landscape in a simple and harmonious composition. The angular architectural forms contrast with the softer lines of the shore and the calm expanse of the sea, creating a dialogue between structured architecture and the fluidity of nature.

Simplified surfaces and solid colors, combined with subtle painterly textures, give the work a minimalist yet tactile quality. The repetition of architectural forms and rhythmic lines guides the eye along the shoreline, reinforcing a sense of stillness and calm.

Rather than depicting a specific place, the work offers a personal interpretation of living in harmony with nature, simplicity, and tranquility.

Quiet Strength

This contemporary portrait explores masculine identity, strength, and quiet dignity through a geometric and decorative visual language. The figure’s traditional-inspired attire, layered patterns, and strong silhouette create a distinctive sense of character and presence.

Angular forms and elongated lines interact with expressive brush textures, combining structured geometry with an organic painterly quality. The patterns of the clothing become an essential part of the composition, framing the figure and creating a rhythmic relationship between color, form, and texture.

The restrained yet earthy palette reinforces the figure’s grounded presence, while the simplified facial treatment places greater emphasis on silhouette, ornament, and character.

A Quiet Moment

This contemporary portrait captures a quiet moment of reflection, centered around the simple ritual of holding a cup of tea. The figure’s calm posture and thoughtful presence create an intimate atmosphere, inviting the viewer to pause and step away from the noise of everyday life.

The elongated forms, simplified features, and geometric elements reflect a contemporary figurative language, while expressive brush textures add warmth and painterly depth to the composition. The contrast between structured forms and softer organic details creates a balanced visual rhythm.

The warm, earthy palette reinforces the sense of comfort and tranquility, turning an ordinary moment into a quiet study of stillness, presence, and inner reflection.

golden silence

This contemporary portrait explores feminine power through an avant-garde fusion of modern figurative art and conceptual fashion art. The exaggerated, architectural forms give the figure a commanding and self-assured presence.

The soft, flowing curves of the black hat contrast with the sharp, geometric shoulders of the golden coat. With the eyes concealed in shadow, the figure takes on an air of mystery and quiet authority, while the elongated neck and vivid red lips draw attention to her confident presence.

The warm gold and deep black create a bold, luxurious contrast, balanced by a neutral, earthy background that allows the figure to remain the central focus.

Echoes of Identity

This work explores identity, repetition, and subtle individuality through the repeated arrangement of a single face. At first glance, the figures appear identical, yet small variations in color, form, and expression give each one an independent presence.

Geometric structures, elongated lines, and simplified forms create a rhythmic yet dynamic composition. The repetition functions as a visual echo, suggesting a single identity reflected through multiple forms.

The contrast between solid color surfaces and expressive brush textures adds depth and painterly quality to the geometric composition, highlighting the tension between repetition and individuality.

Embrace of Earth and White Silence

This evocative portrait explores inner peace, introspection, and a woman’s deep connection with nature. With her eyes closed, the figure embraces a terracotta pot, suggesting a protective connection to her roots and sense of belonging. White cosmos flowers partially conceal her face, symbolizing purity, growth, and thoughts quietly coming into bloom.

The work combines modern figurative expressionism with elongated, delicate lines inspired by Art Deco. The exaggerated hands and fingers create a sense of elegance and calm, while the soft, organic forms of the flowers contrast with the structured, geometric stripes of the clothing.

The earthy terracotta and brick tones are balanced by the luminous white flowers and the deep navy and cream of the clothing. A warm background and symbolic circular form behind the figure create a sense of protection, warmth, and rootedness.

A Wish

This dynamic nocturnal scene brings together the raw energy of an equestrian figure and the ethereal beauty of a falling star in a striking composition. The sharp, angular forms of the rider and horse contrast with the sweeping curve of the lasso, creating a dialogue between grounded strength and celestial wonder.

Simplified geometric surfaces and solid colors, combined with a palette of deep indigo and warm terracotta, give the work a bold, contemporary quality. The rhythmic, cubist-inspired lines guide the eye from the powerful stance of the horse to the glowing star, reinforcing a sense of motion and tension.

Rather than merely depicting a night ride, the work offers a personal interpretation of ambition and hope. It captures the fleeting, magical moment of daring to reach for the impossible and pulling a distant wish into reality.

A Line of Stories

This playful work explores diversity, individuality, and coexistence through five distinct birds, each with its own character—from a mysterious wide-brimmed hat to an expressive fan of feathers. Human-inspired details bring personality and narrative to the birds, while falling blue paint drops celebrate the freedom and spontaneity of the artistic process.

The composition combines Cubist-inspired geometric structures with the aesthetics of origami. Sharp angles, bold lines, and folded, block-like forms create a sense of volume and dimension, while the geometric paper flowers complete the structured composition.

A warm, textured cream background provides a neutral setting for the vivid palette of ochre, deep blue, green, red, and yellow. Together, these colors create a lively rhythm and convey a sense of joy, energy, and movement.

The Silhouette of Authority

This contemporary portrait explores masculine authority and restraint through an avant-garde fusion of modern figurative art and conceptual fashion art. The architectural, angular forms give the figure a strong and commanding presence.

The oversized black hat casts the upper face and eyes entirely in shadow, creating an atmosphere of mystery, coolness, and quiet authority. His crossed arms convey a firm and self-contained posture, while the gold-and-black striped coat, with its broad angular shoulders, emphasizes his powerful silhouette. The carefully groomed beard and mustache add a balance between ruggedness and refinement.

The warm gold and deep black of the coat create a bold and luxurious contrast, while the softly textured beige background keeps the figure at the center of attention.

Shared Silence

This contemporary portrait explores a silent dialogue between two women. With their eyes closed and faces brought close together, the figures exist in a quiet, contemplative space, suggesting both duality and connection—a moment of mutual understanding beyond the noise of the outside world.

Modern figurative expressionism merges with Cubist-inspired geometric structures and bold, minimalist lines. Angular, architectural forms contrast with the soft curves of the closed eyes, while rich, visible brushwork brings depth and an organic quality to the geometric surfaces.

The contrast between earthy olive-green tones in one figure and the striking black-and-white palette of the other represents two distinct identities coming together in harmony. A deep, dark background further isolates the figures and places the focus on their intimate connection and shared presence.

Hidden Dignity

This work is an expression of modern figurative expressionism, inspired by the geometric structures of Cubism and the elongated, delicate lines of Art Deco.

In this digital painting, the contrast between the striped and circular patterns on the clothing and the elongated, minimalist forms of the figures creates a balanced and harmonious visual rhythm. Four women are depicted seated together, conveying a quiet yet powerful presence that reflects dignity, solidarity, and individual strength.

The green background and earthy tones evoke freshness, nature, and a sense of being deeply rooted—qualities that are reflected in the calm and dignified presence of the figures.

The Emerald Secret

This contemporary portrait depicts a woman in profile, inspired by the geometric structures of Cubism and the elegant, elongated lines of Art Deco.

Her emerald-green geometric hat partially conceals her eyes, creating an atmosphere of mystery, confidence, and quiet strength. The vivid red lips and delicate hand gesture contrast with the angular hat and collar, emphasizing femininity and inner calm.

The bold contrast between emerald green, warm terracotta, and a textured golden-yellow background creates a vibrant visual rhythm. Through form, color, and presence, the figure conveys a sense of self-possession and quiet power.

Portrait of Heritage

This contemporary portrait explores identity, presence, and cultural-inspired adornment through a bold geometric composition. The figure is presented with a calm yet powerful presence, surrounded by layered patterns and decorative forms inspired by traditional visual motifs.

Geometric shapes, elongated lines, and expressive brush textures create a balance between structure and organic movement. The carefully arranged patterns and contrasting tones emphasize the figure’s individuality while giving the composition a rhythmic, decorative quality.

The earthy palette and tactile textures create a sense of warmth and connection, while the simplified facial features allow the overall form, patterns, and presence of the figure to take center stage.

Digital painting of the cathedral in progress

Echoes of Milan

"Echoes of Milan" is, for me, a visual narrative of the contrast between silence and chaos, and the confrontation of geometry with emotion. In this piece, I sought to place the steadfast, elongated, and fragmented lines of the Duomo against a swirling, energetic, and expressionistic sky.

I chose the color palette for this work with meticulous care: earthy tones, matte grays, and ochres for the architecture of the building, alongside a fiery harmony of mustard, gold, and deep indigo for the sky.

It was important to me to intentionally keep the lower part of the frame (the adjacent buildings and the piazza's cobblestones) dark and neutral so it could act as a calm, natural passe-partout. This silence allowed me to portray the grandeur and details of this historic monument like an echo resonating within a modern atmosphere. I created this artwork—marked with my usual signature (BY)—with its bold contrasts so it can shine as a focal point in modern spaces.
