Lorenzo Petrantoni / Milan Lorenzo Petrantoni was born in Genoa, Italy in 1970, and studied graphic arts in Milan, in Art & Design Tecnica School. He now lives in Milan and works as creative director in the advertising agency Armando Testa. A few years ago he started dedicating his spare time on this kind of art work, old fashioned images "stolen " from ancient preferably French books (of 800's), he puts them together again, following aesthetic ruels that have to do with his love for graphic design. This is how this art work comes to life, giving new meanings to images that would be otherwise buried between pages of old books.

Lorenzo tries to use the computer as less as possible; he loves doing practical work and that's the reason why he prefers overall the collage work.

Many of these were published and disscussed about in several international art and graphic design magazines.
