Paesaggio Toscano
About this artwork
This painting was a challenge, says artist Simone Giaiacopi. The image shows a ruined old castle in a Tuscan landscape, however, I realized this piece using a contemporary and unusual technique. Made with a set of ordinary Bic pens, Simone worked on creating a realistic piece with a fixed and limited range of colors. Each nuance is the result of meticulously mixing hues and strokes. It is a reinterpretation of pointillism, but translated into a new style, closer to the exactness of the drawing than to the conventions of oil painting.
