Having trained in all of the major classical techniques (fresco, drawing, oil painting and egg tempera) in the school whose founder has been the great Maestro Pietro Annigoni, Maestro Battini now revisits these traditional techniques in a contemporary way. With over 15 years as a professional painter, his talent goes beyond simply reproducing traditional art in a mechanical way; rather, it means to use time-honored methods as the basis for a new mode of realistic expression.

While the models belong to the present day, in the context of his creations they become simultaneously a part of the past and the present.

This dual spirit molds his pieces; imbuing each of them with the artistic heritage of Italy while giving fresh inspiration for powerful expression in brilliantly realized objects of art.
