alberto ponno biografie




















alberto ponno

the focus of his work are formula one cars of the 1950s. movement is very important in his artwork, so he will never paint a static car. airbrush is a very important tool in creating the sense of movement in his work.

with the airbrush, the line is not so definite, which is perfect for rendering blurry and hard lines. for example, by making the spokes of a wheel blurry, you get a sense of movement. another effective technique alberto ponno uses for conveying movement in every painting is the dust or powder of the road generated by the wheels. this leads to the most pressing and intriguing of wonders concerning alberto ponno´s work.

the only aid alberto ponno uses is an opaque projector. he airbrushes the critical areas and scale over the projected image. most of his paintings are in color and his references are generally "black and white" photos and because many of his references do not show complete information, alberto ponno researches books for complete detail accuracy.

although it is easier to paint on paper, metal remains alberto ponno´s surface of choice. the effect he likes to achieve, translates better on aluminium. metal is more difficult because you must be much more precise and also because mistakes show up easier. metal is smooth that the quality of the work is more dramatic and pronounced.
