Italian · b. 1970
Cristiano Pintaldi is an Italian contemporary artist born in Rome. He is known for his unique painting technique that mimics digital screens. Using only red, green, and blue paint on a black background, he meticulously hand-paints pixels to construct images. His subjects are often drawn from popular mass culture, television, and science fiction films. Through this labor-intensive process, Pintaldi explores the intersection of physical reality and the pervasive nature of digital imagery.
