    Beyond the current paintings and design by Oscar Salerni

    The driving force behind these works is to create a three-dimensional visual effect by playing on the contrast between reflective solid backgrounds and the opacity of the subject.

  • Dark Souls

    Dark Souls are representations of these mechanical heroes, who embody good and evil at the same time (a reference to the oriental philosophy of Yin and Yang) and, depending on the pilot, can become messengers of the devil or angels champions of good.

  • Dream City

    Dream City inkdraw design by Oscar Salerni

    Dream city allegorically represents the vibrant nature of Parma's architecture, expressed through the creative force of a childhood lived within the urban fabric, where small play areas (courtyards, cellars, garages) were immediately transformed into fantastic places.

  • Feathers, Spire and Tentacles

    Feathers, Spire and Tentacles painting and sketches by Oscar Salerni

    The starting point that led me to make these paintings was the observation of the plumage of birds. The feathers are interpreted as a texture all around the subject head.

    My interest was then brought to all those anatomical elements of animals that could become texture, such as snakes coils and octopus tentacles.

  • Fins, Spires and Tentacles

    Fins, Spires and Tentacles painting by Oscar Salerni

    These 6 paintings are ideally the evolution of the previous series Feathers, Spire and Tentacles. Born from the need to create original works for the Costa Toscana ship of Costa Crociere, the subjects have marine fauna as a common thread.

  • Oniric Tuscany

    Oniric Tuscany designs by Oscar Salerni

    The drawings depict famous places in Tuscany reinterpreted in a surrealist way. The inspiration came from the art director Manuel Roncoroni as a work request for the decoration of the new Costa Toscana ship of Costa Crociere. I was inspired by the illustrations in Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities.

  • PigMush the Transformer

    PigMush the Transformer paintings and designs by Oscar Salerni

    The Pighmush the Transformer project was born almost by chance during the study of characters who, as a common thread, had to recall the pig. The success demonstrated by friends, acquaintances, classmates of my daughters led to the idea of using this subject for the realization of T-shirts.
