Alphabets!

I started the project in 2010, with the idea of bringing an ode to the twenty-six characters that gave us stories like ‘Ulysses of James Joyce; The Bare Land of T.S. Elliot and Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary’.

Twenty-six characters, twenty-six alphabets, that was the idea.

I chose the format 50 x 70 cm. and made all the alphabets by hand.

After three years I reached my goal. We made a book showing the results, titled “26”. In the meantime I continued making alphabets.

The next step will be the production of silkscreens in a limited edition. They will be for sale as soon as possible.
