Samorì, an Italian artist born in 1977 in Forlì, has spent the last two decades mastering the art of the "beautiful wound." He is a painter’s painter, a draftsman of formidable skill who understands the Old Masters so intimately that he feels comfortable taking a scalpel to them.

Upon closer inspection, the viewer realizes that the image is not merely distressed; it has been surgically altered. Samorì’s process is unique in the art world. He paints a traditional image—often a faithful reproduction of a classical portrait—using oil on copper, wood, or canvas. He renders the skin with translucent glazes, building up the "flesh" until it is lush and convincing.
