Agostino Arrivabene

Italian traditional painter Agostino Arrivabene's work is technically amazing and deeply moving. His work is like a disturbing surreal dream, one that is already slipping back into our subconscious. Like those startling moments just as you wake and remember only fleeting fragments of your dreaming, during which we the viewer are suspended between one reality and the other.

"I would like to stress the fact that my visionary vein stems from a mystical research: in my experience visions have always a mystical background, they are a strong communication line with the eternal, the mysterious and the infinity above us. As a man, I prefer to think of myself as a shaman, who throws prophecies to the world, who discloses messages and images concealing higher and wider meanings. At first these can be quite obscure even to myself, but as time goes by or through the sequence of works to come, they show their meaning." Agostino Arrivabene

Marco Mazzoni


Employing a mastery of a large, harmonious color spectrum, Italy based artist Marco Mazzoni creates tender compositions with colored pencils. Featuring a repetitious face crowned with blossoming flowers, fanned butterflies and birds; the works radiate a tribute to natural beauty as well as an exploration of identity. The eerie exclusion of eyes are replaced with whitened voids, hinting at inner divinity and placing emphasis on the flora and fauna. Take a peek at more of the impressive works below. http://hifructose.com/the-blog/1480-the-art-of-marco-mazzoni.html

Silvia Pelissero

Italian artist Silvia Pelissero (aka Agnes Cecile)'s work is predominately figurative watercolour, but she also works in acrylic, oil, varnish and digital.

Her work is delicate and dramatic at the same time, due to her use of watercolour paint along with bold contrasting colour selection. The effect is moving and very beautiful. Her brush strokes and bleed create a wonderful abstract feel to her figures as they seem to seep or explode out of the white background. The female figures eyes and facial expressions are evocative, creating a sense of bitter sweet melancholy in some works, and a wonderful sense of expectancy in others. I adore the texture and movement in Silvia's work, it feels instinctual, spontaneous and intensely emotive. I hope you enjoy my selection. 

For a intimate look at Silvia's painting style, check out the video below of the artist at work.
