The whisper of a painting


Omar Galliani is an Italian artist who specializes in drawings using pencil, ink, charcoal or pastels. He uses classical techniques of light-darkness and of sfumato (which means "smoked", deriving from fumo the Italian word for smoke.)  He often draws large-scale faces on wood, but also draws many variations of female portraits as well.  He uses a smudging technique to give his art a light, smoky feeling which is absolutely beautiful. 
Omar Galliani was born in 1954
