Stef Bastiàn

HELL

With this series of paintings, which later became a book published in Los Angeles by Raking Light Projects, Stef Bastiàn wanted to pay homage to my roots and his beloved city, Florence. In 33 illustrations he portrayed the first book of the Divine Comedy, Inferno, using the aesthetics of traditional tattoos.

“I hope that in addition to paying tribute to the great poet, at whose feet I grew up in Piazza Santa Croce, these works can serve as inspiration to the new generation of artists to broaden the cultural horizons of their work.”
