Giacomo, an Italian artist, is looking for the collision of Chinese and western cultural exchanges by means of eastern art. After mastering rubbings technique with oriental charm and cultural connotation, he began to deepen the use of this artistic language in his creation to express the impression of nature and life. These impressions reflected his enthusiasm to embrace eastern culture actively. In each of his rubbing works, we could see his unique perspective of integrating the west and east.
