<div>The first mural done at Asher Residences in Tampa, Florida. Private commission but on public display, visible from the street. In its overall vision and in every detail that constitutes it, this composition recalls the local fauna and flora and was born from a research on the spot that strongly connected it with the geographical context.</div>

The Reddish Egret

Stephano Tno

<div><br>The intervention carried out on the facade of the school building stems from the desire to give the building a new image and at the same time convey a message by exploiting the social role of the place. The references to the lake and its waters are inevitable: characterizing element and real luck from a tourist point of view for the country, it provides a strongly evocative image full of meanings. The scene depicted sees a boy aboard a typical "<em>naet</em>" who, with a genuine and naive smile, reaches out to a fish peeping out of the water. The gesture is intended to represent the great open-mindedness that is expected of the new generations, who can bridge over diversity, differences, which can reverse and reinvent customs. Behind the young man, an elderly man who is also smiling represents the traditions, the past and his legacy, important for being able to face the future. The heron constitutes another reference to the lake and its fauna. Behind the small group, huge pages of a book replace the sails of a boat, indicating how knowledge and culture are decisive for finding their own direction, a way to go: the artists believed that the role of the school and education should appear within a decoration placed in that particular place.</div>

<div>A modern "Arcimboldo" made of leaves and flowers recreating the shapes of a colorful Macaw. Some of the leaves composing the figure are taken directly from the plants of the surroundings and accurately reproduced on the wall.</div>

Blue Macaw

<div>A close look between man and nature, this latter rendered by a plant composition that recalls a human face in forms, in order to make their comparison more tangible and to make "her" more understandable in its needs and dignity. A personal reflection by the artist on the themes of the environment and of spirituality.</div>

Out of the Comfort Zone

<div>Work created on the occasion of the second edition of Progetto T.R.U.St. in Taranto. The dolphin, the protagonist of the work, is the symbol of the city as it appears in all the legends associated with it. However, this creature has a great symbolic value that goes beyond the iconographic aspect: in fact, the Gulf of Taranto hosts one of the very few and most important striped dolphin nurseries in the world. Being able to admire the puppies darting out of the water, right in front of the Ilva chimneys, gives a strong image of resilience and conveys hope for a different future. The criticality of the environmental and climate issue is recalled by the shadow of the dolphin which becomes a large sundial, perpendicular to midday: the hottest hour, in which we are called to reflect on our responsibilities and act.</div>

L'ora più calda (The hottest hour)

<div>The work was created in the country that boasts the title of Capital of Color and whose history is surprisingly intertwined with graffiti writing and urban art. The represented subject, through his great ability to adapt, is able to grasp all the nuances and wants to represent the importance of knowing how to be flexible, of knowing how to adapt to circumstances and the environment.</div>

Adattamento

<div>The work born in the context of the Wall of Giants initiative sponsored by the Municipality of Esine is part of a decorative cycle created by various well-known authors within the area of ​​street art and graffiti in Italy. The facade tells with ironic cut a short story between a wolf, an owl and a rabbit. The first, hidden among the branches, awaits the arrival of the rider who will deliver the meal ordered by mobile phone inside the special thermal bag. Referring to the numerous companies that deliver food at home even without wanting to criticize them, the artist takes the opportunity to underline how today every aspect of our life is influenced by the presence of smartphones. By inserting this device into an extraneous context, a funny scene with a Pirandellian flavor is born, a parody of everyday life.</div>

DeliverWood

<div>La scelta del soggetto è ricaduta sul falco pellegrino, che, storicamente, domina i cieli della Valle del Savuto, area sita nella Provincia di Cosenza. L'opera si integra, cromaticamente, alla perfezione con lo scenario circostante e la composizione dell'immagine è saggiamente costituita dalla flora che ha circondato l'artista nel suo soggiorno a Marzi.<br>Il murale restituisce al borgo un forte senso appartenenza al luogo e alle tradizioni. Un'esperienza molto bella e inedita."<br><br>The choice of subject fell on the peregrine falcon, which historically dominates the skies of the Savuto Valley, an area located in the Province of Cosenza.<br>The work integrates, chromatically, perfectly with the surrounding scenery and the composition of the image is wisely made up of the flora that surrounded the artist in his stay in<br>Marzi. The mural gives the village a strong sense of belonging to the place and traditions. A very beautiful and unprecedented experience."</div>

Il Falcone Pellegrino

<div>The work, painted in the center of Bergamo at a level crossing, was born from the desire of the owners of the facade to express a message that makes us all reflect on the issue of pollution. Due to the intersection with the railway line, the streets of the area find themselves occupied every day by vehicles waiting with the engine running, with the natural consequences. Strong is the contrast with a park in the immediate circumstances, which appears, together with the property in question located exactly on the intersection, suffocated by the fumes and noise of the cars. The person depicted, who by passers-by has been recognized as a modern Pan, wants to represent the personification of greenery and the environment that struggles to make its way between dust and pollution by launching a message of protest and hope at the same time.</div>

<div>
<br>Mural commissioned by a motorcycle enthusiast, as a gift to the city of Treviglio. The painting reproduces a custom vehicle with a Ferrari red color scheme. From the day of its realization, the work has become a meeting point for bikers and enthusiasts.</div>

Autoscooter

<div>The mural depicts a small robin in the hands of a man, symbolizing the importance of protecting one's uniqueness and traditions. The work also contains symbols related to nature, culture and the strong religious sentiment that binds the community of Conflenti to the Madonna della Quercia di Visora, patroness of the place.</div>

Unicità

<p>The Phoenix.<br>La Fenice is the title of the work created in April 2021 on the facade of the Parco Leonardo station, in the province of Rome. The mural represents a lively tree composition that sharply defines the elegant silhouette of a heron, perfectly framed in the high concrete wall. The work is part of a large regeneration program for the surrounding area, with the aim of igniting awareness of the importance of caring for and enhancing the territory: the Phoenix perfectly symbolizes this act of rebirth. Historically, the first representations of this figure were attributed the appearance of a heron, a species that moreover populates the banks of the River Tiber which flows not far from the intervention area. The choice of this animal, migratory by nature, is enhanced by the concurrent location of the station, place of departure and arrival, linked to the concept of travel.</p>

La Fenice

<div><br>In 2018 the courageous intentions of the Church of San Francesco in Treviglio are renewed. The first bet, already successfully tested a couple of years ago at the behest of father Eugenio Minori, was to combine a traditional sacred iconography with a very contemporary and controversial technique, the spray. The subjects depicted on the facade of the church in the west district retain classic features appropriate to the environment, but acquire the freshness, expressiveness and dynamism of street art. The second important commission entrusted to the young artist from Bergamo aims not only to redevelop a side wall of the structure, but to convey a strong message. The scene depicted is in fact that of the meeting historically occurred at the time of the fifth crusade between <em>St. Francis and Saladin</em>. The two men embrace each other: it is the peaceful meeting of two religions, of two cultures, but above all of two human beings. The composition and colors maintain the setting of the original work cited, while the physiognomies are given new life, a significant play of looks and an actuality that strengthens the intentions of the work. In the climate of intolerance and tension of recent years, this courageous and admirable choice is a voice out of the chorus that reminds us to be human.</div>

Chiesa di San Francesco

<div>Walking along the "<em>Tombotto</em>" cycle/pedestrian path, one can see the collaboration between the two artists combining figuration and lettering. The painting is characterized by the play of light and shadow on the face represented and conveys a positive message: even in the darkest moments, one must believe in the light that each of us is able to attract .. and Shine!</div>
