Another work I’ve done some time ago as DoPe, starting from an oil painting by Paolo Dolci.
Also here, I used the original painting’s colors and textures to build the shapes and the materials on the creature, a living sphere/planet…
The high quality large print shows a lot of interesting details were to lose yourself wandering around, the idea for a still image comes from a short animation you can see here.

A work a bit different from the others: “Autoritratto Satanico” by Sandrun (more info about him here) re-elaborated multiple times and assembled.
The meeting point and above all a contrast point… most of the times Sandrun created just because he felt it, occasionally he destroyed his work before some of his friends could “save” it. That’s the sharpest divergence from Warhol’s concepts of repetition and massification, so the ID in the title stands for identity.
The divergences between the two artists continue in their lives, personalities and artwork, on many levels and from different point of views, in fact it would be interesting to develop an entire serie of works just about this subject while studying them. It’s not easy to find english information about Sandrun’s life, if you’re interested let me know in the comments and I’ll post something more.
Here‘s a link to an online gallery with some of Sandrun’s works.
