a Florence-based, classically trained contemporary Japanese painter, printmaker and sculptor. Previously active as Osamu Giovanni Micico.

Philosophy

I draw inspirations from the Renaissance old masters and take these notions below as principles to manage my artistic productions.
Draw by hand to see Nature well and to invent an image from imagination.
Be transversal in diverse artistic fields, at the same time, penetrating always the ideas of an artist.
Nurture interaction with clients on the course of an artistic production and respond to their artistic requests.  Also collaborate with other craftsmen.
Mirror beauty which originates in Heaven in any subjects created, painted, drawn and engraved.
