Here I am! Hi everybody :)
What about me...Well,I'd love to make my living a pleasant and fruitful experience:I have always liked to paint and make drawings, but I never went to any school.
I love to write, and I like to express my soul in as many ways as I can think of...I don't consider myself an artist, though:I just love art. For more about me, just click here and visit my site.BIOI was born in Firenze, 17th of April 1977.
I am fond of everything which celebrates life and humanity:from writing, to painting, to music till sports and nature, all that captures my attention becomes an interest of mine.
If I'd die tomorrow, I would feel my life has been a worthy one already, but for every day that passes, I feel always more curious about it.
To be an artist (although I don't consider myself so,) means to have a personal vision about all that happens, equally outside than inside.For me it means also to try to connect with other's spirits in unexpectable ways and have an endless will of knowledge, and endless will to discover and test yourself and everything else, without fears, but with all possible emotions in the quest, and from the quest.
The world around it's therefore the best inspiration, all that is into it can touch the inner chords of my soul, although I can't say which way till it doesn't happen.And everytime it happens, it's a reveal, a miracle, and the vibes are the best one can feel.
Then sometimes I watch the blue sky, and I give shape to my heart and mind, and I float around... and smile for my live is really like I want it to be.
I have temporarily suspended my career as University Researcher, testing myself as Administrative Manager right now, and I still asking myself if what I got finally was awareness or disillusion, but anyway, it's my attitude to never regret anything that I made consciously.Let's give life a new try.
I am very fond of Foreign Cultures, they enlarge also my artistical perceivement of life, and it's something I find absolutely enriching.
I have never learnt English, so forgive me if I am not good at speaking nor writing it.
I can speak and write in French, I can read Spanish, I know Ancient Latin and Greek.
And of course, I am Italian so, my Mother Tongue has got no mystery for me.
Hooray for Dante! ;)

Aaaargh! (that means I am jealous; you have time and opportunity to improve; I have not). IMPROVE? was there anything to improve in your drawings? I hardly remember. I think there was not.

When I commented this in the forum I said I was so sorry that I never have been in Italy. Your sketch an even more your painting wake up my longing to see this wonderful town. Beautifully done!

Your hand did not depart nor your eye lose focus in the jumble and sought out the man-made and natural to render a complete piece.

Well, it's sweet in itself, but gives little hint of the superb work that was to come. I've been patiently awaiting this for so long, it seems :-)

This is a beautiful sketch! I love the feeling of a quick shot although I think it wasn't quick at all...

WOW, Meli! This is unbelievable!! The attention to detail is absolutely OFF THE SCALE!! The renassiance masters (di vinci, etc) would have a hard time beating this one!! This is a truly beautiful work of art!!
Sunster

Wow, cityscapes! Haven't seen any of that genre in Your beautiful gallery before, Meli. Exceptionally done. You prove that if a person has an artistic talent, no matter what he draws - people, scapes... Firenze must inspire its citizens to portray it, - I really envy You :) Gorgeous place and remarkable artwork. Wish to see other cityscapes of Your if there are any. Anyway there'll be, I hope.

Sarfantastico tornare tra due mesi sotto il sole fiorentino.Il tuo schizzo vive,in tutti i sensi.
lemonjim
this is fantastic! with a few perfect strokes it contains all the detail the eye can hold... and, i think i remember that viewpoint! better than any photo. amazing how you make "texture" and "color" with only black pencil on white paper.

beautiful... and more! :O)

Already this was a masterpiece in nuce.

The sketch is VERY good, but nothing as the final paint.
