This color diptych creates a dramatic chromatic dialogue between two classical figures, where warm and cool tones establish emotional relationships across the paired panels. The color version reveals architectural and atmospheric details invisible in monochrome, offering collectors a fundamentally different experience of the same compositional structure. Each panel's hues seem to respond to the other, creating visual harmonies that echo classical principles of balance and proportion.
Touching the skin of the past is an extraordinary collection of Roman Statues captured with the ICM technique in order to make the marble skin like a truly human body. 'Touching the skin of the past I can feel the blood flow under the marble. Feel the warmth under the cold. And history rises up with a breath of lust'.
This 2014 photography diptych represents an early and significant achievement in Artioli's color experiments with classical sculpture. The Art Design Project, contemporary gallery Miami Beach. presents this work for collectors who appreciate how color fundamentally transforms photographic narrative, creating new possibilities for emotional resonance and visual storytelling.

Luca Artioli, an artist, poet, and photographer recognized in Europe and around the world, has worked for years in the most vital artistic circles of world culture, such as La Scala Opera House in Milan, The Wolfsonian Museum in Miami during Art Basel, Hermès in Paris. Artioli has evolved over the years as an artist who is appreciated for both his skill with the camera as well as the pen. Luca Artioli was born in Milan but he has been living in Miami since 2008 (I guess it’s time to move…) In 2000, after receiving a master's in photography, he left the world of finance to follow his special vocation for “light” and poetry. In few years Artioli has published a number of books with Mondadori, the key publishing house in Italy, some of them translated into many languages. The books of Artioli are notes of light rich of emotions and poetry. Artioli has had numerous photographic exhibitions around the world from Milan to Bombay, Dubai, Miami.
