50 to 250 hours – this is how long Alessandro Paglia takes to complete one intricate drawing. And we totally understand why. Each piece is so incredibly hyperrealistic and detailed that it looks like a black and white photograph rather than a pen drawing on a large cotton paper canvas. With his meticulous and unique technique, the Italian artist brings iconic pieces of design history and pop culture objects to life with an original twist on the story they entail. Each realistic drawing is presented in fine detail and exceptional attention to composition, depth, and shadows created solely with an intensely pigmented ink pen. Well, many pens actually.
From classic cars to iconic clothing pieces to hand gestures or sculptures, each unique artwork is up to your personal interpretation – see for yourself!
