Francesco Bianco
Fancesco Bianco, a renowned tattoo artist based in Milan, Italy, is known for his intricate dark portraits of women. Bianco explains that the absence of color in his tattoos adds an emotive quality to the images, making them feel closer to a memory or a thought. This choice also places the subject outside of time and space, giving them a timeless quality.
When asked about his choice of subject, Bianco reveals that he chooses women's faces because they are a universal symbol of connection. He believes that anyone looking to connect with another person must pass through their face, making it a powerful and meaningful choice for his art.
Women have always inspired Bianco due to their indomitable spirit. Despite facing ethical and social restrictions, women continue to fight against imposed models and societal norms. Bianco sees women as the perfect image of resilience and unconditional love.
Interestingly, Bianco finds inspiration in poems more often than paintings. Such as Italian poets like Pascoli, Foscolo and Pavese. He believes that poetry captures emotions and thoughts in a way that resonates deeply with his artistic vision.
