I would like to present two videos.
In the first, a Pininfarina pen in Ethergraf, which leaves a beautiful trace of oxidized metal on the paper so that you can draw.
The material with which it was designed and made is solid walnut wood and aluminum.
The pen is very well balanced and allows you to act on the Ethergraf tip with great ease and fluidity.
But to enhance itself effectively, the pen needs adequate support and it is in the second video that I propose a suitable paper preparation to enhance these characteristics.
On this prepared paper any metal stylus has the possibility of achieving greater darkness and therefore a greater artistic performance.

0I have a YouTube channel where I mainly talk about pictorial and graphic technique, and it is dedicated to those who are learning to paint and draw, but not only to them, but to all the people who like to deepen their knowledge of artistic technique.
I share on the channel the realisation of a simple painting depicting the glow of the sun of a late autumn morning in the countryside.

The landscape has always been a source of research for me, because within it, within the tangle of signs and in the development of forms without man, I see a possibility of a new, ancestral development. It finds itself, represented in my gaze that leads the sign like the gaze of someone who lays their eyes on it without being inside, but always placing themselves on the margins, like a spectator who remains on the sidelines.
The development of the forms full of subtle and incessant strokes reveals its entire construction, the skeleton and casing appear transparent and uncovered in all its parts to give the image a character of creative frenzy, of necessary constructive impetus.
This landscape is placed in a fundamental point of my proposal for reflection on nature, which from here on will carry out a slow and inexorable descent towards depth without ever, as repeatedly repeated, hiding anything of the formal path that allowed its growth.
The smallest sign must be legible and be able to be isolated from the rest in the urgency of transforming the drawing into a path that has a main and sole objective, the recognizability of its chronology within it



Il paesaggio è per me fonte di ricerca da sempre, perchè all’interno di esso, all’interno dell’intrico di segni e nello sviluppo di forme senza l’uomo, io vedo una possibilità di uno sviluppo nuovo, ancestrale. Esso si ritrova, rappresentato nel mio sguardo che conduce il segno come lo sguardo di chi posa gli occhi addosso, senza esserci dentro, ma collocandosi sempre ai margini, come uno spettatore che rimane in disparte.
Lo sviluppo delle forme piene di tratti sottili e incessanti rivela tutta la sua costruzione, scheletro e involucro appaiono trasparenti e scoperti in tutte le sue parti a dare all’immagine un carattere di frenesia creativa, di necessario impeto costruttivo.
Questo paesaggio si colloca in un punto fondamentale della mia proposta di riflessione sulla natura, che svolgerà, da qui in poi una lenta e inesorabile discesa verso la profondità senza mai, come più volte ripetuto nascondere nulla del percorso formale che ne ha permesso la crescita.
Il più piccolo segno deve essere leggibile e poter essere isolato dal resto nell’urgenza di trasformare il disegno in un sentiero che ha un principale ed unico obiettivo, la riconoscibilità della sua cronologia all’interno di esso.
