Collection: Alessandro Paglia

Alessandro Paglia, a dedicated artist, delights in delving into the life of an object and highlighting its history, the ingenious craftsmanship behind it, and its distinctive character. Although his usual subjects are renowned for their significance in design or popular culture, his latest series showcases beloved cartoon figures portrayed in an innovative manner. The quartet, aptly named 'Midas Touch', demonstrates Alessandro's creativity through a special printing process that involves hand embossing and a luxurious gold leaf coating. Being handmade, each piece possesses minor variations, adding to the exclusivity of each edition.

His handcrafted originals begin with pen and cotton paper, as he incorporates multiple layers of vivid tones and vibrant textures. Paglia skilfully utilizes a combination of intense inky blacks and the rough grain of cotton, resulting in nuanced perfection. It takes him anywhere from 50 to 250 hours to complete each piece, but the end result is truly remarkable - a one-of-a-kind visual statement that exudes genuine power.
