This motif was inspired by Gustav Klimt’s “Golden Phase”. The technique used here to apply the gold leaf is known as chemical gilding, a decorative solution that can give a thin coating of gold to a large number of surfaces and materials. A living bathed in light, a precious decoration for a place with a unique style.

This technique is known as pouncing; drawing and colors were made with watercolors. It represents a decoration that dates back to the Roman empire era (“girale”), showing a stem or shoot wrapped in leaves, a motif that was used in any era. It looks as if the space is moving and the color chosen for this decoration, although delicate, enhances the characteristics of its surroundings.

This was made for the shopping mall “Freccia Rossa” in Brescia, starting from a draft of an original scenery made with crayons. To make this large wall painting we used different techniques. This image shows the first drafts we made before the beginning of the actual decoration. The technique used in these situations is chosen according to the finished look one wants to achieve.

Frieze realized using the pouncing technique. We made this wreathes with leaves, flowers and fruit, keeping in mind how the natural world is usually depicted, highlighting symmetries, simplifying shapes, for a two-dimensional effect. It was then filled using acrylic paints and gradients with different shades.

Ceiling decorated with a floral motif using the technique known as pouncing. This technique was well appreciated during the Renaissance and it’s a perfect solution to decorate larger spaces, where accuracy is key. First of all, one must prepare a drawing on a cardboard, then he is to leave pricked marks following the outlines of the drawing; after that, the pounced drawing is laid on the surface. Through the pounced holes, the charcoal can leave an outline on the working surface underneath, so once the cardboard is removed, one will be able to see a series of little dots; connecting them will reveal the drawing.
