Hello everyone, I am Lorena Straffi of Art Enchant airbrush studio.
Perdon, no hablo español.
I thanks everyone for the comments on my work and I congratulate the Admin for this beautiful site.
Since here we are talking about me and my work in public on the internet I feel I can join the conversation because I know things a lot more accurate than any other.
I have airbrushed professionally for the last 22 years. I started to airbrush on zippo in 1996 when, with my ex partner Mazzi, have started working for Zippo Italy. I painted zippo for the series sold around the world, which means that up to 2005 anyone who owns zippo may have zippo painted by me but autographed by Mazzi, which I agreed to do as partners in life and work. In 2001 I created the zippo club Italia because the passion for zippo was very big and I wanted collectors to know our hand painted zippo. Speaking of subjects, I would like to explain that the beautiful things in the world are always the same: actors and actresses who are popular myths .. Marilyn Monroe and Clint Eastwood for example. Do you think that only Mazzi can paint characters so popular?. Collectors like beautiful and sensual women, animals etc .. all the animals painted on my site are the beloved pets of collectors .. Do you want me to refuse to do portraits because Mazzi has designed one? (at that time I also designed the same cat ) Sailing ships for example, in the UK we have Nelson as one of the greatest people of history .. we should not draw his trilogy because Mazzi has designed the Vespucci? .. Also .. why just look at the drawings with similar subject "and not to mention all the others? In the world of airbrush, interesting subjects are beautiful for everyone and we are not afraid of other airbrushers and competitors, artists must express their self and should not be afraid of confrontation.
Dear picassocan, we are not cyclists that we can exploit the trail .. everyone shows what he can do and that's it .... And I have no fear, from 1996 to 2005 people liked "my" zippo .. then I continued for those that still like them even though now there's my name on them :wink:
If you look at my site, as well as zippo, I paint miniatures on pens, knives, and a thousand other objects.
www.artenchant.com Airbrushing is my full time job.
Life is too short to waste it with pettiness, I put passion in everything I do and I suggest everyone to do the same thing with peace in the heart.
Thanks to everyone for their time.
Ciao ciao adiós :mrgreen:
