Print made ​​recently by my friend Salvatore Pepe, professor of the National institute of art that has accidentally found my work as a student where he has restored and made ​​me a unique print, making a wonderful gift, one thing that I had completely forgotten that today the public for the first time. This is a technical exercise of wood, where I remember the way straight off, using a pointed metal tool with a wooden ball for head protection of the palm called Burin. The style of drawing, to which I was inspired, it is clearly of Cubist Picasso. Decomposition of a face in front view and side with special facial elements that dominate the scene (eye and tears), close the rational geometric compositions. As for the signature and date, have been deliberately inverted think like the rest of the design, as opposed to normally, which is concerned with the image to be printed.
Technique: engraving by means of printing on paper, ink, sepia, cm.33xcm.38 format.
