May Part II: Bye-Bye old studio

A lot of things where happening throughout May, including moving my studio. I have been working for the past 2 years at the Artspace studios here in Florence, which now unfortunately have closed their doors. Good news is that the place will be most likely turned into a very similar working environment.

Here some impressions on how my studio looked like:

My favorite corner to relax, with my big shelf full of still life objects, books on art and a lot of inspiration surrounded by some of my paintings. On top a sculpture by my friend Eran Webber that he gave to me very generously


The corner where I would usually set up my models and how it would look like after a 4 hour session. This is by the way one of the paintings I am currently working on though I have finished working with the model. I like using friends or people I know as models because I feel it gives more depth to the painting so in this case my florentine friend Margherita dedicated her time to me:

Opposite to my model corner I had set up for still lives, even in this picture you can see the flow of light falling in from the skylight


The last painting I did in my old studio. I finished just a few days before the inside walls, that had subdivided the space into individual working spaces, were taken down.


So a big bye-bye to my "second home" and a big thank you to my friends Ramiro Sanchez, Melissa Sanchez, Hunter Eddy and Evelyn McFarlane for having me in their community of painters, sculptors, photographers and restorers!
