More About Artist

Artist Statement

Rossi Di Vino invites viewers to explore his digital portfolio, where vibrant colours, symbolic imagery, and augmented reality merge to blur the line between the real and surreal. Specializing in pop art, modern surrealism, and contemporary digital art (created using a graphic pen and tablet, not AI), his immersive works are designed to evoke imagination and emotion. Influenced by Salvador Dalí, he embraces the organic evolution of art, allowing each piece to find its own path. His AR-integrated art brings hidden layers to life, transforming both private collections and public spaces.
