Agostino Arrivabene

"After his initial training at art school, in which, Arrivabene says, he learnt next to nothing, he toured around Europe and studied the paintings of old masters. He researched how to grind his own pigments, lapis lazuli, indigo, cinnabar and madder, dragon’s blood, orpiment and bistre, and almost forgotten techniques of painting like mischtechnik, a painting technique used by artists such as Albrech Dürer and Grünewald.
In mischtechnik, egg tempera is used in combination with oil-based paints to create translucent layers which, when laid over each other, refract light through the painting creating a sense of light and luminosity.
This attention to the minutiae of his craft has resulted in Arrivabene’s paintings actually embodying a process of alchemical transformation, in which the physical matter of painting itself, the lead, the ground pigment, the egg, the oil, is transmuted through the agency of his craft into extraordinary light-filled visions."

Hello there, I discovered your channel about 40 minutes ago and let me say I am captivated. I’m an aspiring writer and to me your videos are utterly enchanting and inspiring. Because of that, I want to take a few moments to sing sky-high praise for you. I genuinely don’t know how you manage to put these together, but the phenomenal imagery combined with the magnificent music just ignites and feeds my imagination like nothing else has. I’ve found myself creating worlds and stories I had never even dreamt of before. Truly, your channel is quickly becoming an addiction for me, and on behalf of my work and all the other artful souls that see your own, I thank you tremendously for what you do and I sincerely hope you don’t stop anytime soon! Warm wishes and abundance to you! 😇

I cannot be thankful enough and I really hope that you'll find even more inspiration in my future videos. I'll continue for as long as I can! All the best to you!

These are visions of a truly awakened person, with access to higher dimensions. I've had some of these visions and many dream imagery that I recognise in his work. Absolutely stunning colours. Must be his use of these traditional techniques mentioned in the desription.

A beautiful combination of color and texture. And such fantastic imagery. Like dreaming while awake.

WOW!! The colors, light and subject matter are mesmerizing and ethereal. I would love to see Antonio Arrivabene's work in person, it would take me days to take them in.

Hey DistantMirrors I love your stuff, I often put in on the background when I make art. Could you do one of Hilma Af Klint. She is my favorite artist and underrated, Thanks for making great videos

[@DistantMirrors]

Thank you so much Rob! Sorry for the late reply, I don't always get all notifications for the comments. I will definitely look into Hilma Af Klint's work. If I will be able to collect substantial ammount of material for the video I will be happy to make one.
