This commanding diptych presents two classical figures in dialogue, their marble forms softened through Artioli's signature camera movement technique. The pairing creates a narrative tension between stillness and motion, inviting viewers to experience ancient sculpture as living presence. Each panel reveals different aspects of light dancing across stone surfaces, transforming rigid antiquity into fluid contemporary vision.
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'.
Available exclusively at The Art Design Project in Miami Beach, this museum-quality diptych represents a unique opportunity to own Artioli's exploration of classical sculpture. Each photography is printed on archival pigment paper, ensuring longevity and depth that honors both ancient craftsmanship and contemporary artistic innovation.

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.
