By hand
Every fragment begins with a masterpiece and one question: what makes it iconic? GLENNJULIO decides what to keep and what to leave unseen, and designs a modern version that belongs to this time.
Then it is painted in oil, stroke by stroke, straight onto pure anodised aluminium. The metal is not a background but part of the work. It catches the light, so the painting changes with every hour and every room. Each one exists once.
