Collection: Giancarlo Piccin

 Giancarlo’s mother recalls the day in which she discovered that her son had artistic talent. “We had returned to Italy and arrived in a small town close to where I was born. Rather than a conventional taxi, we decided to take a horse and carriage back to my parents’ home; this ride left two and a half year old Giancarlo, in awe.” When the family arrived at their destination, the young man demanded a pen and paper, and immediately drew out in detail the horse, carriage and driver. Upon seeing his grandson’s work, Piccin’s grandfather wept with joy, asking in disbelief how a child, who could barely talk, could have such ability.
