Photography by Anna Carmignola

"Veles e Vents"

Anna Carmignola is 29 years old and graduated from DAMS in Padua. Her passion for photography began more than ten years ago when she started taking pictures with old cameras and slides.


Her camera is her companion everywhere she goes, she likes to roam the city, look for unusual angles, hidden, photograph the people, and is attracted by reflection of mirrors, water and everything that creates effects of movement and color. She likes to photograph things, which her eyes catch at that moment, and that's when she designs the picture, in that exact moment; she never plans and puts thoughts into her photography before her finger hits the trigger.


Anna gained experience by attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg, Austria, and participating at various major exhibitions, and also representing Venetian culture related to the themes of the sonnets "Vivaldi's Four Seasons" in Japan.

"Faces of Money" Collection by Piero Martinello

"Ignacio Carrera Pinto, Chile" by Piero Martinello, Faces of Money Collection

>> We handle and exchange it every day, without hardly ever thinking about its origin. Of its graphic content, we are only concerned with the numbers. We take the cold, stylized faces of leaders and public figures for granted, so much that they seem more like artifacts of nature rather than people who once lived.

Beneath those engraved faces, however, lie a myriad stories edited down, simplified and glorified by the nations they helped establish and enrich. Real people rarely have lives as clear and goaloriented as national narratives make them sound. Within their vast complexities are a profusion of unusual anecdotes, forgotten events and actions which would have contrasted greatly with their historically-forged images

There are also stories in the making of those public images as well. The editing-down and commodification of rulers or public figures can happen in a lot of different ways. Sometimes it is deliberately down to establish a political cult. Sometimes they are dragged out from the pages of history after an authoritarian regime fades away. And sometimes, they are used by authoritarian regimes themselves to bolster a sense of historical unity. <<

Piero Martinello

      is a 25-year old portrait photographer. He graduated from the 'Institute of Photography and Visual Arts in Padua. In 2006 he was invited to Fabrica, the international center of research for the Benetton communication, developing a project called "Portraits Bar."

At FABRICA Piero works for various numbers of Colors Magazine, becoming the director of photography for 76 Colors, "Teenagers." He carries on long-term personal projects, such as "The Waste Land", a series of faces of young people consumed by 'alcohol and drug abuse' at the exit of music festivals and techno & hardcore raves in Europe.

He has made for United Colors of Benetton "Victims", the corporate campaign that appeared in Le Monde, The Herald Tribune, La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera on the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, and "It's My Time ', the latest interactive campaign which appeared on the main international networks and magazines.

Piero has also worked on various social campaigns: a visual essay on the situation in Darfur was commissioned by the Canadian magazine Walrus and two campaigns for the 'World Health Organization entitled "Stop Tuberculosis" and "Child Injury Prevention", which won an award the Graphis Awards in New York. 


At the beginning of 2010 Piero spent his time working in New York with the American photographer Mary Ellen Mark, and then in London to assist Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. He currently works in Milan and London. www.pieromartinello.com

"Leigh Viner" New Artist at Pic Boutique

We are so happy to have Leigh Viner from Denver, Colorado, U.S.A as a new artist within our collection. We have come across her inspirational blog http://jkldesign.blogspot.com/ and her successful Etsy shop based in the U.S., where she already sells her multiple art-prints successfully; and we were "wowed" by the style with which she elegantly performs her arts.

Leigh is one of the most humble and positive artists we know, and her pieces reflect this.
She applies her creative skills on Illustrations, Photography and Make-Up; just the right mix to create Art we can absolutely identify ourselves with.

The following works are exclusively available at Pic Boutique. Collect your own Leigh Viner artwork and visit Pic Boutique!

We are honored to present you the artwork of the young industrial designer Alberto Caiola.

His "Bulbose" Vases have found many admirers and Alberto was also selected as one of the "Under 35"

Designers for the Sun Lab Creative Outdoor exhibition.

The series offers 3 different vases, which can be ordered through "Pic Boutique" Gallery in two color shades:

white and anthracite. Go and see Alberto's works at Pic Boutique.

During his studies in industrial design at the Polytechnic of Milan, in 2005 he won the “AD Young

Designers Awards” and soon started cooperating with Cibic&Partners. The year after he partecipated

in some workshops at Fabrica (Benetton research and development communication centre).

Fascinated by conceptual art and excited for change, he moved to the Netherlands

to attend a master at the Design Academy Eindhoven. After a period spent at Antonio Iraci &Partners

involved designing shops and house's interiors, he worked at Cibicworkshop design research center

in Vicenza.

Here he worked for design companies and institutions such as Foscarini, Artemide, Serralunga,

Antonangeli, Leucos, La Rinascente, PaolaC., Emu, La Triennale di Milano, Kunsthaus Graz, Gran

Teatro La Fenice, Mondo S.p.a., VeronaFiere, Cazzaro, The city of Cartagena (Colombia), Quarella,

Environmental furniture.

In 2010 he took part in the collective "Recession design" at the Milan Design Week and was invited to

take part at the project "AAA Cercasi Nuovo Artigiano" which ended with a touring exhibition. He is

now working as consultant for companies, developing projects in exhibition and product design. He

recently established SirAlbert&Mr.Simon studio with Simone Polga.

He believes in the truth of objects and in the value of experiencing things. Objects come to life as time

go by, and the minute we become attached to them we can’t do anymore without them. The

unconscious connection between emotion and familiarity gives rise to his interpretation of design.

Simone Polga for Pic*Boutique

Gentili Art-Lovers, siamo contenti di presentarVi un nuovo artista nel nostro pool di fotografi "Simone Polga".

Simone Polga nasce a Thiene (Vicenza) nell’aprile 1976. In seguito al diploma e master in design presso la Scuola Italiana Design, inizia a lavorare come product designer per aziende nell’ambito del mobile. Nel 2004 fonda, assieme ad altri 3 soci, JoeVelluto, studio di design multidisciplinare, con il quale svolge lavori di ricerca, industrial design e comunicazione per aziende quali Bosa Ceramiche, Diadora, Coin, Coop, Coro, Euro3Plast, F.lli Guzzini, Gas Jeans, Gruppo S. Pellegrino, Killer Loop, Mandarina Duck, Meritalia, Pandora Design, Pitti Immagine, Polimoda Firenze, Richard Ginori, Rollerblade, Sisley, Sonus Faber.
Nel 2005 presenta il libro “Salefino: nuovi sapori dal design italiano”, edito da Abitare Segesta. Nel 2006 lancia con Cristina Morozzi il progetto di comunicazione “Nazionale Italiana Design” che si concretizza con la nascita del brand “CoinCasaDesing”, di cui progetta l’immagine. Nel 2008 il progetto “Saver” prodotto da Coro viene segnalato dall’ADI Design Index. Lasciato lo studio JoeVelluto, da Marzo 2008 è consulente per differenti aziende, sviluppando in particolar modo progetti di retail design, che lo portano a lavorare in tutta Europa.

“Faccio tanti lavori diversi, faccio fotografie, disegnini, architetture enormi, scrivo. Altrimenti sono sicuro che la mia anima si annoierebbe”. Cito con ammirazione le parole di Ettore Sottsass, e in qualche modo posso riconoscere una verità che ci “accomuna”: costante ricerca nello scoprire altri monti, discipline, anime. Nasco come designer industriale, incuriosito e appassionato dall’architettura, dalla musica, dalla fotografia. Leggo con i miei occhi il mondo e cerco di fermare con le immagini quegli istanti che rendono la vita unica.
