Microdisegni

*Microdisegni* began as tiny, mixed-media drawings on paper, created during a peaceful moment in 2009 while I was in Bale, on Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. Initially, I used a small piece of wood as my brush and the last drop of coffee as ink — keeping everything simple and essential. I wanted to create something figurative yet miniature, focusing on capturing the barest essentials.
As I continued, I experimented with other materials, like traditional ink, powders, and even dust mixed with water, giving each piece a unique texture. 


Since the figures were so small, I decided to enlarge them on canvas, where the details and textures could come through. I also marked each canvas with the original miniature size in the bottom right. Enlarging them brings out the grainy background, emphasizing the painting technique and adding a richness to every detail.

On the left you can find some examples of some that have already been realized.
