A black and white calligram portrait of a man's face, formed entirely by handwritten Italian words creating shadows and contours.

Calligram portrait similar to typographic portrait art. A human male face emerging from Italian words. The face is NOT filled with text: the facial features are formed by the density and repetition of handwritten Italian motivational words. The text creates shadows, contours and volumes. One eye, nose and mouth clearly visible through typographic contrast. Strong use of negative space. The words are repeated and layered to shape the face. Abstract, expressive, artistic style. All text in Italian only. Black and white. Minimal background. See more
