About the author

My name is Gianni A. Sarcone. I am a prolific author and visual artist keen about communication. Many international galleries, publishers and agencies have appreciated, used and enjoyed my work to capture the attention and entertain people all around the world. I love to integrate my work with different disciplines and to apply it to all the aspects of our everyday life. I have written many books in several languages on visual thinking, art education, and on the mechanism of vision. What drives me more than anything else is the desire to show and share the wonder and the magic of the world we live in.
