This project is directly connected to Faccio Facce, but pushed into a larger, more physical dimension.

Instead of small works on found paper, these faces were created on a monumental scale.

The process stayed faithful to the original instinct of Faccio Facce. I used the same old 5 cm Molotow marker to build the lines of the face quickly, in flow, without hesitation. But here the works evolved into something more layered.

Inside each face, I wrote in green marker, filling the surface with a stream of consciousness. From a distance, it reads like texture, almost like skin. Up close, it reveals itself for what it really is: an internal monologue, thoughts in motion, traces of what was passing through my mind in that exact moment.

Then, with pink marker, I added another living layer: I tattooed the faces with the same tattoos I had made that day during the convention. In this way, each piece became more than a portrait. It became a document of time, thought, work, and presence. A face, a mind, and a diary of the tattoos created on that specific day, all merged into one surface.

the final piece was not created live during the last day of the convention. Instead, it was completed later the same day in my studio, using two sheets of paper joined together.

The result is a body of work born from urgency, adaptation, and instinct. Faces made live, filled with thought, marked by tattoos, and created on salvaged surfaces that already carried memory before I ever touched them.
