It all started from here… a blank sheet of paper and ballpoint pens.

Ballpoint pens have a soul, each has its own characteristic and personality. Their color has become my communication tool, it helps me to bring out what is not seen and to bring out the emotions of the characters I represent. I am fascinated when a simple idea I had in my head takes shape on paper. Each work is unique… it is practically impossible to have two identical ones because each drawing is the result of the moment and of my free hand that slides on the totally white sheet.

Welcome to my world full of lines and colors!
``BALLPOINT PENS ARE LIKE LIFE... ONCE THE SIGN IS DRAWN ON THE PAPER YOU CANNOT GO BACK, YOU CANNOT ERASE IT, YOU CANNOT COVER IT, YOU CAN ONLY TRANSFORM IT``

– Edivad Draws

They often ask why I chose to use ballpoint pens as my adventure companions compared to pencils, watercolors, tempera, or any hesitant painting… The answer is very simple… I love their strong line and their flexibility. I like to push them to the extreme and play with different speeds and pressures to empathize with the subjects I represent and bring out the emotions that arise in me.

    ABOUT ME

    Simply Davide Soldati, aka Edivad Draws, born in 1985.

    He lives between Verona and Milan and since he was a child he was a lover of the world of art and design, but unfortunately growing up, as often happens, he had to put aside his dreams and devote himself to reality. Color has always accompanied him in his daily life… one of the games he often likes to play is to associate a color with the people he meets on the street… he tries, at first glance, to capture their character or mood and translate it in the form of color…

    During the period of the pandemic that hit the whole world in 2020, the need arose in him to get closer to that world and to immortalize the emotions of the moment on a white sheet of paper through simple colored ballpoint pens…
