About the artwork

We are all familiar with the iconic drawing of hands drawing each other, a masterpiece by Escher that stimulates the imagination and challenges the limits of perception. As a photographer, I felt the urge to create my own interpretation of this artwork, as a tribute to Escher and his unique vision of the world. This project is therefore intended as an ode to his genius and artistic legacy.

Imagine: Escher, alive in our time. What would his desk look like? Would it be littered with sketches of impossible figures, twisting staircases and endless patterns? Would modern technologies enrich his toolbox, allowing him to create even more complex and intriguing works? Or would he stay true to his traditional methods, his hands adept at drawing wondrous worlds with just pen and paper?

The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain: Escher's desk would be a sanctuary of creativity, a place where the line between reality and imagination blurred and new worlds were born out of the apparent chaos of his thoughts. With my own version of his famous drawing, I hope to catch a glimpse of this magical place, and maybe, just for a moment, embrace the spirit of Escher himself.

This modern interpretation of Escher's work is perfect for art lovers and collectors looking for unique and inspiring wall decoration. It not only pays tribute to one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, but also invites reflection on the evolution of art and technology. Add this extraordinary picture to your collection and be inspired by Escher's brilliant mind.
