The Intimate 3D Art of Giuseppe Perna
This article was originally published on Hue & Eye.
About Giuseppe Perna
Giuseppe Perna was born and raised in Naples (b.1987), although for as long as he can remember he also spent part of the year in Greece, which he considers to be his second home. His thoughts are fast, his attitude curious and gentle, all peculiarities of a sensitive and creative mindset. Since his childhood, Giuseppe has indeed always felt attracted to art and music of any form. His father is an archeologist, and this is what he also decided to study as an initial academic path. Giuseppe accomplished a degree in Classical Studies and Archeology, and after having studied and worked into that field for some time, he then turned his interests to a diploma at the ILAS (Istituto Superiore di Comunicazione, Naples) in 3D Graphics.
As already mentioned, Giuseppe is equipped with a good amount of curiosity and for this, he felt the urge of exploring the human being from an alternative perspective. This need led him to start working with 3D and digital techniques, which consequently brought him to build his current career, five years ago.
Today Giuseppe Perna is an emerging 3D Graphic artist who loves playing with lights and colors to create artworks with a warm atmosphere, mostly interior design or portraits. He’s also a 3D printing enthusiast, a technique he finds very rewarding.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the notion of creating something from scratch, but representing feelings through images is what drives me to make art, most of the time.”, he states when asked what drives him to create art. He has always been inspired by the Dutch neoplasticism, better known as De Stijl, particularly of Piet Mondrian and Gerrit Rietveld. Other artists who influence his work are Johannes Vermeer, Amedeo Modigliani, El Lissitzky and the neo-futuristic concept artist Syd Mead, widely known for his designs of science-fiction movies such as Blade Runner.
About His Work
His work is an attempt to recreate intimate environments, he explains, bringing classical art together with a 3D cartoon taste. To Giuseppe, this is a balance between traditional and innovative, a humoristic touch within a conventional mood. As he also studied new methods of conceiving the museum space and experience, he feels the need to bring these innovative discoveries onto his canvas. For this, the ambiance he depicts is always cozy and realistic, a synthesis to communicate emotions with strong frankness. Before starting a new project, Giuseppe reveals he is often driven by one particular emotion he wishes to depict, the one he will then turn into the leading character of his art piece. Representing feelings through images is what drives him to make art, and he wishes for the viewer to sense that mood and maybe find a bit of themselves in it. Giuseppe himself defined his process 70% mental and 30% digital, and we will heartily agree with this.
His other significant source of inspiration outside art is cooking. Is not unusual for a meticulous and creative person to be found in the kitchen as, likewise any form of art, cooking also needs a perfect balance of flavors and a harmonic eye to arrange the elements into a satisfying composition.
Giuseppe is currently thinking of moving to a city outside his native Naples, to broaden his horizons and deepen his working network, as his main objective is to bring art in people’s daily lives.

Noah Latif Lamp through time
Today there is such a variety of different artists in the visual art scenery, so many diverse personalities with their own complexity, all bringing different attributes and expression to the art world. The ones I love the most are those who above all designate knowledge and experimentation as the main guideline for their artistic development. This category of artist is continuously seeking for a new creative epiphany, they continue to elevate themselves artistically and socially, and set no boundaries to accomplish it. When the epiphany happens and it looks like they have found a productive peace, a creative lay-back moment, this is when they start again – looking for new challenges. Noah Latif Lamp embodies every aspect and nuance of the artist I have described above and, in my opinion, that any contemporary artist should exemplify. I met Noah a few years ago in Amsterdam and I have soon enough become obsessed with his talent and his huge capability to experiment and to challenge himself continuously and regardless of the huge appreciation he is already getting from the art world. Noah has the colossal virtue of having never been afraid of becoming an avantgarde and risking to be ignored due […]

Shahina Jaffer Interview
Shahina Jaffer is not only a fine and developed artist, but an intellectual and active person towards the social and cultural scene. She considers art sort of a universal language and she has the courage and audacity to transfer that in her style. The result is an extremely pathological and emotional style, abstract and subjective, therefore opened to different interpretation from the viewer. This builds up a sort of interaction between the parties, the artist/artwork and the viewer and this interaction is completely driven by the perception the viewer has of her talent. Carlo Tozzi, st-Art founder and art director Where have you grown up? I grew up in a small town in Surrey England, called Hersham, Walton on Thames, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by open fields and the river Thames, and this is where I formed a strong connection to nature. That still Influences many aspects of my work. A lot of my creative projects include aspects of social inclusion, because from a young age, I understood that art is a universal language, that can transcend barriers and also help us relate to people from different backgrounds. At the age of 8 years old, I was […]

The art with no barriers and no conditions of Luna de Jesus Licea
‘Luna de Jesus Licea is not only an extremely talented artist, but a very interesting and articulated personality. He reminds me so much of the artists from the 80s and their approach to art with no barriers and no conditions. Luna considers art his safe place from reality and his possibility to express himself in a way words could never do. Being an artist myself I can deeply understand and appreciate his position and feelings. Art is a trigger to unleash our most deep sensations and unexpressed desires, but even our recondite fears. To my eyes it appears clear his appreciation of Pop and street artists, like Jean Michel Basquiat. His mixed media pallet, with oils, acrylics, markers is so dense of symbolism and anthropological subjects. He touches with his brush so many society problems and displays them with extreme courage and no respect, just as a real artist should do. Like all free artists he doesn’t find himself comfortable in classifying his style or the artist who influenced him….his statement “At the end of the day my life, my memories, my struggles and just my day to day thoughts influence and inspire my art” is the best summarization of his […]
