The original Renaissance was ancient Greece and Rome remixed through 15th-century eyes. Renaissance 2.0 is the same idea: humanity's greatest stories, rebuilt with digital tools, for a global audience. Not nostalgia. Continuation.
I decided to publish the full masterclass I recently held on Constructing Artistic Identity.
Not because I think everyone needs another lesson.
But because I believe most artists are missing something much more fundamental than information.
Structure.
Over the years, working closely with artists, collectors, and the market, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat itself over and over again.
Incredible talent, strong visual language, even early traction, but no system capable of sustaining it.
And without a system, everything becomes fragile.
This masterclass was originally designed for a small group of selected artists.
A closed environment, where we could go deep into the mechanics of building a real career: identity, positioning, production, pricing, relationships, infrastructure.
But the more I thought about it, the more it felt wrong to keep it limited.
Because this is not “advanced knowledge”.
This is missing knowledge.
We talk endlessly about inspiration, style, and visibility.
But very rarely about coherence, continuity, and long-term construction.
So I decided to make it public.
Not as content.
But as a tool.
If you’re an artist, my suggestion is simple:
don’t read it passively.
Use it to question your own structure.
Where you are consistent.
Where you are fragmented.
Where you are building, and where you are just producing.
Because at a certain point, the difference is everything.
Most artists don’t fail because they lack talent.
They fail because they never build a system around it.
This is a starting point.
Some time ago, a collector reached out to me. He was renovating the walls of his home and felt the need to fill them with something that truly carried meaning. He asked for my help.
After hours spent exploring artists and visions together, his attention landed on Eric’s work. From that moment, a thoughtful and ongoing dialogue began between me, the artist, and the collector, to find the right direction, one that could genuinely resonate with both the space and the person living in it.
Some time ago, I told @EfdotStudio that I would bring his work to Italy.
Today, I can say I’ve kept that promise.
His works will now live within the walls of a new home, becoming part of it, quietly present, every single day.

I love interviewing the artists behind our curated collections and discovering who they are and what lies behind each of their works.
