Diego Cusano, the “Fantasy Researcher” from Italy, is a testament to the enduring power of imagination. In a world where many succumb to the monotony of routine, Diego reminds us of the magic that surrounds us daily.
His art is a whimsical journey into the realm of possibilities, where snail shells become noble helmets and chickens don the horns of Maleficent. Through his unique creative lens, Diego breathes life into the mundane, transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary pieces of art.
“I’ve always been a creative person,” Diego shares. “Music and drawing have been my passions since childhood. But I don’t call myself an artist; that title feels too weighty. Today, anyone can be an artist. I prefer to think of myself as a ‘fantasy researcher.’ Each day, I wake up with a sense of curiosity, exploring how to reimagine ordinary objects beyond the confines of reality. For me, everything is a canvas, and every object a puzzle waiting to be solved.”
Diego’s work serves as a gentle reminder to embrace the childlike wonder within us, to see the world with fresh eyes and to never lose sight of the beauty in the everyday. In a society often consumed by productivity and efficiency, Diego’s approach offers a refreshing perspective—an invitation to pause, imagine, and delight in the simple pleasures of life.
