I’m Federico Putzulu Sini, a multidisciplinary Italian artist based in Padova and Sardinia. I specialize in mural painting, decorative arts, restoration, engraving, illustration, and digital painting, with a passion for trompe-l’œil effects and gilded finishes. I blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expression, and I work across Europe and the Middle East.
From restoring historic altars to crafting concepts for animation, I enjoy projects that transform spaces and tell visual stories. I approach each commission with meticulous care, curiosity for history, and a collaborative spirit that welcomes clients and communities into the creative process.
