Commissioned paintings (cars and motorcycles): from memory to canvas

From the garage to the living room, your legend becomes art

All I need is a photo. I’ll take care of the rest

I enjoy creating commissioned paintings because each piece begins with a real story. Very often, it all starts with a photograph — sometimes black and white, sometimes worn by time — and with the desire to bring back a detail, a face, a car, a motorcycle, or a place. In that moment, the painting becomes more than just an image: it becomes a way of giving shape to an emotion, with the depth, patience, and care that only oil on canvas can offer.

How it works

What I can create

I can create portraits featuring cars or motorcycles, vehicles on their own, travel scenes, racing subjects, workshop settings, urban views, or landscapes. If you already have a clear idea, that is perfect. If all you have is a photograph and an emotion tied to it, I can turn it into a balanced and expressive composition without losing its authenticity.

Sizes and personalization

Each work is a one-of-a-kind original, signed by the artist. The size is chosen according to the photograph and the space where the painting will be displayed: I can work on smaller formats, ideal for a gift, or on larger canvases designed to make a statement on the wall. Personalized details — a date, a location, a license plate, a racing number — can be included discreetly, as subtle elements that make the painting truly your own.

Write to me

If you would like a commissioned painting, send me a message. Tell me the story you would like to capture and attach your photos. I will reply with an initial concept and, if needed, a few focused questions to help create a painting that is not only beautiful, but also true to the memory behind it.

What I need

To get started, I usually only need:

  • 1–3 photos, even old ones or black-and-white images — in fact, those are often the most interesting
  • A few lines of context (who, what, where, and when, if known)
  • Your preferred size, if you already have one in mind, or simply the space where the painting will hang

Usually, you send me one or more photos and tell me what you most want to preserve from that memory: the vehicle, the person, a license plate, a color, a sign, the setting. If the image is in black and white, I do some research to reconstruct colors and details such as the model, year, distinctive features, and historical context. It is a part of the process I especially enjoy, because that is when memory begins to regain its substance. From there, I suggest the format and composition of the painting, we agree on timing, and — if you wish — I can share one or two updates as the work progresses.

That black-and-white photograph is a legendary image, taken at Monza on September 9, 1956. It shows Gilera riders Libero Liberati (No. 28) and Geoffrey Ernest “Geoff” Duke side by side during the 500cc class of the 1956 Nations Grand Prix. To create this painting, I set out to reconstruct the colors and atmosphere of that moment nearly seventy years ago
