SIG'08 FIAT Multipla project














I decided to partecipate in the Stile Italiano Giovani 2008 competition even before it was announced. It's a pretty cool competition for some reasons, one of which is that you don't have any strict brief & can do almost everything you want to.
The experience of getting into the top-20 2 years ago really helped me in deciding what kind of project do I have to do to be there again. It definetely had to be an italian car!.. From the other side, I had no intention to draw a sportscar, because, well..."how many more sportscars can you have in your portfolio?"... ;-)))
The idea to draw a Multipla was suggested by Dmitry Zyubyairov who actually had plans to partecipate too but "he couldn't make it..." (that was a Newcastle reference)... ;-P
Anyway, the car was drawn in trains, planes & sometimes kitchens again!.. The presentation was finished in one weekend when Spain won the Euro'08!.. (congratulations again, Carlos!!!)
Finally the project was chosen in the top-20 of SIG'08 and is currently partecipating in the Dream exhibition (http://www.torinoworlddesigncapital.it/portale/en/content_1.php?sezioneID=291&testoCompleto=1) which takes place at Torino Esposizioni. You can still see it there until the 23.11.08.
;-)))

Here's a short description of the project:

The main goal of this project was to revise the already legendary look of the Fiat Multipla but still preserve its spirit.
The concept was to keep the original seat layout formula with a new more characteristic appearance.
Compact external dimensions and huge internal space are some of the main features of the Multipla.
This feeling was ment to be preserved by making the overhangs shorter which makes the car look firm. The entrance to the cabin is facilitated by the �suicide doors� opening system with the absence of B-pillar.

FC Zenit St.Petersburg in Turin!!!








6 months ago when FC Zenit St.Petersburg won the UEFA Cup I was joking telling all my friends that we'll definetely play against Juventus in the Champions so that I could see my team in Turin!.. & the funny thing is that my unserious prediction came true!!! We are in the same group with Juve!!!
& the first Zenits group game was exactly at the Stadio Olimpico!!! On the 17/09 that was!..
I obviously went to the stadium to see the game & brought my italian friend Oscar who's a true Torino supporter!..
;-)))
It's a pity we lost 0-1!.. Actually Zenit didn't deserve it!.. Most of the italians (& Juve fans too) agreed on the point that Zenit was playing better!.. The best italian comment was:"Zenit will win the group!"
Speriamo!!!

Forza Zenit!!!
?????? ?? ?????!!!

Art school stuff











These are some works I found at home that refer to my art school period. I attended the City art school of St.Petersburg for 5 years since 1997 until 2001. I cannot say precisely what were the years when these were made but that's definetely 8-10 years ago!.. I definetely have a will to start drawing & painting again!!!

The drawings of 10 years ago,- exactly from 1998!!!


McLaren MP 4/6

The Rainman

I actually thought that in 10 years F1 would look like that!.. ;-)))


I've been home again this august for a pretty long time actually (6 weeks or something). While looking through my university industrial & transportation design projects (which I'm not plannin' to show here!!! :-)))) I found a bag with a lot of stuff from my art school!.. I also found some formula 1 drawings which were done around '97-'98!.. So I decided to upload some of that pics here.

I've always been a great fan of formula 1, that's why apart from my art school activities (such as drawing still life, landscapes etc.) I used to sketch this kind'o stuff!.. That was mostly McLarens with Ayrton Senna in it. Still rate him as the greatest driver ever!..
