DiegoKoi  

The young self-taught artist known as DiegoKoi uses outstanding pencil technique to create hyper-realistic portraits.

Diego Fazio, also known as DiegoKoi is a young self-taught artist living in Italy. He began his career designing tattoos and perfected his photo realistic technique with hundreds of shades of chiaroscuro over a period of several years.

In his home country, he won an award in 2011 for Best New Artist and has been gaining fame and accolades every since. With art like this, it’s easy to see why.

All of DiegoKoi's work is done by pencil. He is dedicated to the creation of figure and portrait drawings giving them a great sense of the personal.  This expression comes from within each subject through sensible lines that surrounded the subject, giving rise to compact shapes and elastic form, supported by shadows and imagination.
