{"title":"Alessandro Paglia","description":"\u003cp\u003eHailing from Milan, the Italian capital of design, Alessandro Paglia has always been fascinated by the sheer elegant simplicity of that most classic of colour combinations, black and white, whether it be in the fine-arts, design, fashion, film or photography. With an education and background in product design and over ten years of experience in that field, Alessandro says “\u003ci\u003eObjects attract me, in particular their aesthetics, textures, materials and volumes. I feel inspired by the stories they tell, their personalities, the ingenuity of their creators, their hidden world.

I then shoot dozens of photos attempting to find that perfect image in terms of composition and contrast of light and shadow. I then draw it with intense pigment colored pencils or black ink pens, many on them for each illustration actually, by superimposing layers of chaotic lines on top of one another, until I achieve the right nuances in even the smallest details.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"html-div xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1gslohp x11i5rnm x12nagc x1mh8g0r x1yc453h x126k92a x18lvrbx\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xeuugli x18c0a79 xu37r0v x1fj9vlw x13faqbe x1vvkbs xuwz08h x1fxoii6 xrxb4jq xjff08q xlh3980 xvmahel x1jmxu37 xe7v1un x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x x1bsfjaj\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"html-div xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1gslohp x11i5rnm x12nagc x1mh8g0r x1yc453h x126k92a x18lvrbx\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xeuugli x18c0a79 xu37r0v x1fj9vlw x13faqbe x1vvkbs xuwz08h x1fxoii6 xrxb4jq xjff08q xlh3980 xvmahel x1jmxu37 xe7v1un x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x x1bsfjaj\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eSubjects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"html-div xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1gslohp x11i5rnm x12nagc x1mh8g0r x1yc453h x126k92a x18lvrbx\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"xeuugli x18c0a79 xu37r0v x1fj9vlw x13faqbe x1vvkbs xuwz08h x1fxoii6 xrxb4jq xjff08q xlh3980 xvmahel x1jmxu37 xe7v1un x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x x1bsfjaj\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eMy subjects are often iconic pieces of design history or pop culture.
