Sandro Nocentini

[5] The inspiration for it came from the artist's "assisting two friends to conceive a child"; Nocentini has shown himself as a harlequin, a reference to Picasso, whose influence is apparent in the work.

[1] That year he was the judge, with Judith Blackall, of Inner West Cultural Services' Walking the Street art prizes.

[6] In 2006, he was one of the contributing artists to the fund-raising Changing Nature 06 Greenpeace exhibition and auction in Sydney.

[8] He describes his style as "cubist-futurist"[1] and said of his work: The accurate description of physical reality is not as important to me as depicting people through their most intimate and silent moments...

Nocentini lives in Sydney, with his partner Interior Designer James Treble and their two children.
