PUGNANTI (Fighters) – Flesh and light in collision. Electric sweat, digital scars: flaws as profane altars. Saints of the street in beautiful, brutal disorder.
“I’ve imagined how Caravaggio would portray today’s MMA athletes. He’d likely be right there in the cage, tasting the grit of the punches and the fight firsthand.”
About the Artist
Max Brunetti, ‘digital artisan’:
An Italian graphic designer and illustrator working across fashion, advertising, and the music industry.
Creating visuals for international brands and Italian artists alike, his work thrives on the friction between culture and decay, lucidity and collapse. He distills 90s subculture aesthetics into a contemporary spiritual tension, navigating the space between street art and hagiography.
As @fr3danselm0—having explored the ‘liturgies’ of fashion—he operates where the ugly becomes real and the real ceases to be reassuring. He constructs visions where chaos is not a limit, but the generative womb of every form.
