  9. I am sure that I saw that girl move in the first painting! They all have that extraordinary reality about them - somehow more "real" than a photo. Now why is that? Is it that the eyes/ faces are all painted with such precision, yet the rest of the body is more vague? Fascinating! And certainly very beautiful too.

  12. Hello Dash

    Thanks for sharing their spectacular images by Gianni Strino. He truly understands the feminine body. A master painter. Some images brought to mind the late Pino, whom I met about seven years ago.

    Beautiful!

  16. Oh my! That's really magnificent art work. I've never heard of Gianni Strino before. His pictures have a kind of "old-master" feeling combined with a somehow modern expression of his models. Hugs from Miss Maple
