THESE DAYS He studies Social and Work Psychology at the University of Padua. While studying, he is still working on new drawings in order to improve his technique.

In this way my hyperrealistic art is an illusion of reality, rather than a recreation.” Video Here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTs5WGskh3w [email protected] Angela Lazazzera continued
