Story
A portrait, held in a bar.
Inside FRED Bar at The Ritz-Carlton Geneva, Mauro Carraro drew two live portraits of Antonia in blue ink and gold leaf.
The encounter brought a portrait into the social rhythm of the bar: a conversation, a hand-made image and the finished work shared in the room.
THE ORIGINAL WORKS
Two portraits, beyond the encounter.
The two originals are now held in Mauro Carraro’s atelier. Explore each work and contact the Studio about acquisition.
