Nightmares in frame - Blade

The surface does not contain. It yields. Matter breaks the frame's boundary, dragging out what belongs to the shadows. Each work is a violated threshold: you are not looking in, something is coming out.

“Some little shits always try to skate uphill.”

Inspired by the legendary Daywalker of Marvel horror-action cinema, this 3D sculpture captures the unmistakable gaze of Blade (portrayed by Wesley Snipes). With his iconic dark sunglasses and visceral facial details emerging from the wall, the artwork breaks the boundaries of a typical print to become a physical, powerful, and menacing presence.

Each piece originates in our Italian workshop and is sculpted and finished following a rigorous artistic process:

🎨 Craftsmanship & Creative Process

Each piece originates in our Italian workshop and is sculpted and finished following a rigorous artistic process:

• High-Definition 3D Printing: Accurate modeling of every anatomical and structural detail of the subject.
• Manual Surface Finishing: Hand-sanding to enhance texture and expressiveness.
• Multi-Layer Artisan Painting: Manual application of professional acrylic paints using chiaroscuro techniques.
• Matte Protective Finish: Final matte shielding that preserves pigments and protects the artwork from dust.

As this is an entirely handcrafted process, each piece exhibits slight variations in texture and nuance, attesting to its absolute uniqueness.
