Sandro del Prete

Sandro Del-Prete (born 1937) is a Swiss artist who creates illusionary and surrealistic paintings.

When he returned to Switzerland, Del-Prete began creating religious and symbolic art both in drawing and in sculpture.

In 1981 Del-Prete self published a collection of black and white pencil drawings called Illusorismen.
