Photo emulsion on canvas

This technique is used since 1963 and consists of two main groups: the socio-political reportages and the portraits. The subject of the first are pages or clippings from magazines or newspapers, then photographed. Later, the negatives are projected on a canvas treated with photographic emulsion in order to fix the image. For the portraits, instead, the subject is photographed directly by the artist, while the other stages of the process remain unchanged.
