We started making traditional Commedia dell'Arte masks and other creations in papier
mâché since the beginning of the 80s. Everything we make is with hand, and includes many
steps along the way in collaboration with other artists (painters, sculptors, illustrators). It
has led us to many experiment with different drawing and painting techniques on papier
mâché, and application of gold and silver leaves and engravings directly on papier mâché.
Our collaboration with sculptors resulted in the birth of new objects which combine mask
and sculpture.
Living in Florence has led us to Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. We have combined
these two artistic giants regardless of the fact that whilst still alive they didn't like each
other much.
