Excerpts of criticism:

​

There is no doubt that you are an excellent interpreter of Rembrandt and beyond. Your design signature is based above all on the pure sign and this distinguishes you.

​

Excellent! The work is particularly interesting, because your drawing and your sign create a strong emotional pathos.

Furthermore, you compared two giants: an absolute genius of the past with an undisputed master of our contemporaneity, reaching an admirable goal: harmony!

Enzo Dall'ara

His refined and technically skilful tracing of the mark in pencil and ink carried out with cleanliness on cardboard often leads to confusing his works with prints or engravings

Marco Vallicelli

The first prize goes to Filippo Mattarozzi with the second oriental head of Rembrandt for the uniqueness of the subject and the sublime and rare technique, which made the fake so unfake that it seemed real.
