I've had very brief email interactions with Agostino because of an art website I used to run. His English is limited, my Italian is non existant, thus any exchange is not in depth.
I draw influence from a number of artists. He is one.
Let's see what the future brings. I noticed you found me on Twitter.
Yeah, our interactions were limited, too, because of the language barrier (I ended up writing him in Google-translator-assisted Italian :) Yes, of course, as a mature artist I imagine you've other influences, besides him, and your own distinct style, as well.
Good to discover your work, here and on Twitter. I like the sounds of seeing what the Future brings...
Cheers, mate :)
