I made this project i think the first weeks after i bought my iPad, like in late 2022, then i forgot about it. It happens that i want to do some new stickers and i choose that design… When i saw the printed stickers in my hands, i realize that it didn’t end there with “that” design... 😂
"True", 50x70, laser engraving on Tintoretto Gesso 300gsm paper.
One of ideas that i had in my mind is to create an artwork that blends digital and analogic technique. I started thinking about making something similar to my transparent-spraypaint artwork, where i create darker/lighter areas overlapping layers of transparent paint. The goal was to have the same effect but using the laser engrave. With laser engraving you have 2 main settings: power and speed. I could already create something just playing with this 2, but i decided to add a third variable, that is line density, to create more contrast and be my work more readable.
"CULTURE"
Multilayered wood typo composition, 60 x 60 cm.
@honiroartgallery asked me to be part of their super group show on their online gallery, full of amazing artists and legends of graffiti culture.
So i decided to made a "tribute" piece for the culture, adding details of classic graffiti tagging with high-contrast color scheme.
The artwork is available in @honiroartgallery online gallery in the link in their bio

Letters Player:
“Mi chiamo Nicola e la mia passione è disegnare lettere. Ho iniziato nei primi anni 2000 con i graffiti, sviluppando le lettere della mia tag e il mio stile, studiando effetti e combinazioni di colori. Successivamente, ho affiancato ai graffiti lo studio della calligrafia e della tipografia, passando da stili calligrafici classici a font vintage, a vecchi poster cinematografici, mescolando queste arti e sperimentando nuove tecniche e materiali. Nei miei lavori mi piace “giocare” con lettere e colori, ottenendo nuove forme e composizioni unendo stili diversi e creando combinazioni di colori, mantenendo pulizia, precisione e leggibilità.”
