If it is the dynamic aspect of the sporting gesture that stands out in those paintings
that best represent Vincenzo’s surfing art, then it is the expressions of his subjects
in the SURF LEGEND PORTRAITS series which really captures our attention.
All the surfing legends depicted have a certain something in their appearance that
unites them, most of all, the light in their eyes.
These surfers who have achieved tremendous feats on giant waves worldwide,
obtained important competitive results, explored some of the world’s most remote
surf spots or simply experienced surfing in the most total way possible, have over
the years acquired a certain something on their faces.
These characters all share a penetrating gaze, and if
you look deep into their eyes, they each shine with a
unique light that reveals powerful emotions like passion,
adrenaline, enthusiasm, fear and tenacity.
