For this edition, I’m sharing the original sketches behind Radicchio & Violets — the first print in my Brutalist collection. It was inspired by the architecture of Milan, those strong, graphic forms softened by age, shadows, and stories.
There’s something about the city that moves me, the quiet elegance of its buildings, the way restraint meets romance. Radicchio & Violets is my way of capturing that tension: structure and softness, concrete and bloom.
One day, I hope Milan becomes a second (or third) home. Until then, this print is my love letter, drawn in ink, shaped by memory, and built from beauty.
