My favourite painting artist right now is Luigi Serafini...I came across his work when, last july, I was in a Book store, and searching for a birthday present I found this wonderful book:
from description:"The Codex Seraphinianus is one of the strangest artistic masterworks known to man. Created by one Luigi Serafini, it was published in 1983 with an incredibly low print run (probably on one of those vanity labels like Manutius in Foucault's Pendulum). It is profusely illustrated in bright colors and incredible detail. The art very much resembles the work of the comic book artist Jim Woodring, with a little Bosch thrown in to give it some old-time religion."
I hope to have the possibility soon to buy it.

Im' back after a long time.. Sorry !!!
This artistic work seems to be like french surrealistic movement in some parts or dadaisme for me; And you what do you think about it ? Tell me !
Vengo di ricordare que tu sei pure italiana come io sono mezzo italiano mezzo francese dunque potremmo parlare nella lingua di Dante si vuole.
