How long have you been practicing art? What have you\nexperimented with before discovering tape?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have been practicing tape art for 7 years. I never used other media because it’s not as fun for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vitali<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did you discover Pro Tapes\u00ae products? Which ones do you use in your work and how do you use them?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to use Pro<\/a>\u00ae<\/a><\/sup> 46<\/a> masking tape. I’m really not exaggerating by saying it’s the most sophisticated masking tape on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consistency, the adhesive qualities, the flexibility: all properties of the Pro<\/a>\u00ae<\/a><\/sup> 46<\/a> tape are well balanced. You can tell there is a lot of know-how in the production of these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colour and texture of the tape look great whether I am using it to build the basic background structure or for the fine details of my portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vitali<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What has inspired your latest series of tape artwork? I see\na lot of Greek\/Roman mythology!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I create my work, I’m not really intending to make a specific statement; I just want to give people something they’ll love to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this series, I do not really think of them as portraits; I am imagining objects, antique figures and busts, and adding my own flashy vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vitali<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When creating each artwork, I start with a plain background of acrylic paint and leave an outline for the tape to bring the focus on the imagined object. It gives the artwork a commercial, pop-art touch and gives the whole thing the specific mood I’m looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures, taken from Greek and Roman mythology and history, bring in an anthropological aspect. The old sculptors were reflecting on the human being in their artworks. This is what I call “the truth;” watching my art should be like watching yourself in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone has never used tape to create art, what advice\nwould you have for them?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Keep calm, give it a try, and create your own style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
