Why did I start the Project?
Over the years, throughout my art practice, I have experimented with various mediums: collage, assemblage, installation, set design.  However, I hadn't painted in at least 8 years.  About two years ago I started to sketch and draw my surroundings: trees, chickens, doves, leaves.  I felt the need to get back into painting and wanted to reappropriate myself of the capacity of seeing and understanding form and color.  

One day and by chance I stumbled upon Duane Keiser's blog.  Duane is an American artist that is accredited with having started the 'Daily Painter/Blogger Movement' about 8 years ago.  I liked his idea, especially the discipline and consistency involved. 

 As of 2014 I will be including posts about my life in Porchiano del Monte:  its food, landscape, people and lifestyle in general.



Perchè ho iniziato questo Progetto?
Negli anni la mia pratica artistica mi  ha portato ad esperimentare con diverse forme d'arte:  collage, asemblage, installation, e scenografia.  Non avevo dipinto da almeno otto anni.  Circa un anno e mezzo fa avevo iniziato a disegnare le cose del mio ambiente: alberi, galline, tortore, foglie d'albero.  Sentivo il bisogno di ritornare alla pittura.  Volevo riprendermi la capacità di vedere e capire forma e colore.  

Un giorno, per caso ho trovato il blog di Duane Keiser.  Duane è un artista Americano che ha iniziato un movimento di pittori/blogger circa 6 anni fa.  Mi era piaciuto la sua idea, soprattutto la disciplina e continuità necessaria per iniziare e portare avanti un tale progetto. 

 Dal 2014 inizierò a scrivere dei post raccontando la mi vita a Porchiano del Monte: il cibo, paesaggio, le persone e lo stile di vita.

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
