His Work

• "He lives freely without pressure. Nevertheless, it turns out that in his creation, elements stemming from his past experiences co-exist acutely. So this passion takes shape in his creations of structures, disproportionate buildings, the solitude that finds form in the absence of human shape, the all powerful man-made wall; gigantic, unbridgeable, separating all.
  
  The use of 3d technology allows him a total freedom and as a painter he first poses a form and then with the inspiration he composes. Thus an image can take weeks for him, up until recomposing. Breaking it up, to recreate the space and thus his work on the same creation can last several months.
  
  Like he specified to us during our interveiw, his creations are realistic and at the same time, they are not. In some of his creations, one sees multiple themes, like the problems of environment, the loneliness of the great urban settings, the gigantism which takes along the world, of the cities separated down the middle by a metaphysical wall or flooded under water.
  
  For Giacomo what counts is that everyone sees what they have a desire for seeing. He leaves free interpretation open for each one of us, positive or negative."-Fine Art TV

I love that this work was described as atypical ..
