Update: autumn 2020

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while since my last update. After summer holidays and lockdown, several months flew by in the most unusual and unexpected way.

As we all unfortunately know, Covid-19 keeps spreading all around the world, restricting and significantly changing social activities including the ludic one.

Cancellations of the most important European and worldwide board game exhibitions followed, forcing some of them to adopt a digital approach and create “virtual” editions accessible via social networks.

Although these events had a pretty good success, I did not feel like participating in any of them and I preferred focusing on other aspects of my hobbies instead.

Last summer holidays, mainly while I was in Sicily, I spent most of my time sculpting. During that time creations like “Legnomarino”, “Pot head”, “Broken Dog”, “Viso d’argilla” came to life, along with many others.

I explored different materials and techniques, from wood and Sculpy to clay and rock.

Creating shapes from raw materials has some kind of magic: it pushes you to see beyond the raw block and discover what is already there but is hidden to your eye.

I got closer to the world of drawing as well, particularly in October when I participated in Inktober initiative. 

For those not familiar with it, Inktober was created by the artist John Parker more than 10 years ago. At first it came up as an easy way to steadily develop your own creativity, over time the idea took over and many other people started to embrace it.
