with the tip of his finger, a smartphone, and a sharp sense of humor, italian artist finnano fenno creates colorful compositions that turn vintage cars into a cast of quirky characters. the digital finger paintings blend photography, illustration, and graphic elements to form quirky and curious faces and figures, each presenting its own peculiar personality.

everything from doughnuts and sprinkles, to statues and snapchat logos are amalgamated to form funny facial expressions. with a focus on vintage cars, fenno blends old fiats, four door classics, and convertibles with vibrant backdrops that form the ‘face’. large eyes digitally finger painted on the wall behind the vehicles give humorous expressions to each composition, some in a state of wide-eyed surprise, others sleepy and ready to snooze. drawing from his everyday surroundings, the milan-based artist appropriates elements from his everyday life in the creation of each personality — maurizio cattelan’s controversial middle finger monument in front of the city’s stock exchange building makes an appearance as a ‘nose’, while an italian brand of toothpaste and corresponding brushes form eyebrows and facial features.
