ULIANDO ULIANDO

As one of the selected artists for the Uliando Uliando artistic residency, I have spent last weekend in beautiful Otranto ejoying drawing, meeting new friends, living the good life and being inspired.
Carlo Toma, photographer, took stunning pictures of centenary olive trees and we drew images inspired by the shapes we saw in the bark. Have you ever heard of pareidolia?
Congratulations to the winner Barbara Baldi and the runner ups Graziano Roccatani and Marilisa Cotroneo, mentions for Marco Lorenzetti and Elena Bia!
Here are my drawings. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the bark from which I took inspiration yet. I hope I will be able to update this post soon.
