As some of you may know, my life has always been largely influenced by music. I’m very lucky to have been raised in a family where sounds, images and words played a significant role. With time, I have learned to appreciate music in its diverse shapes and to experience the different sounds from around the world; this explorative and open approach mirrors many aspects of my life, including the very diverse styles of my printmaking output.

As I have recently realized, my work is naturally evolving into a visual diary that depicts a voyage through the inner and outer world, a place where reality and fantasy blend together into an organic flow of ink. Music is the fuel of my visual engine - for this reason I have chosen to dedicate a new series of linocuts to it.

This first print is the result of a few nights completely absorbed by the Led Zeppelin’s concert that took place in Earls Court in 1975. It was there that Jimmy Page and his guitar took me to an electrified dimension that I have translated into fast and rough slashes of pencil on paper, captured and emphasized at a later stage through my linoleum cuts.

I hope you enjoy the journey.

Because of the handmade nature of the printmaking process, the print you order might be slightly different from the one in the picture. Small imperfections like ink stains, unprinted areas or colour variations make each one different from the others and therefore unique.
