Remember the rubiks cube this little puzzle that was all the rage in the 1980s now it always took me ages ages to figure it out and i still cant really one side well this little cube is now experiencing something of a revival thanks in part to one artist in italy giovanni can tarty is not just a master at solving the rubiks cube he also uses it to create pieces of art now we met up with him to find out why this little toy is his material of choice. Hello my name is on the grid my portrayed by the news of russia and the youth with its. Giovani can target puts over 700 cubes and as much as 2 hours into each of his portraits he doesnt put in his glue either the frame holds the cubes in place or the image. Falls to pieces as soon as its completed hes got nearly 350000 followers on instagram he generally makes portraits of famous figures some of the stars share the images on social media when in him even more followers they share his fascination with the cubes. One people look at your solving a cube in 10 seconds they think of you as an alien someone from another planet. With the artwork but its something more fascinating. Giovani can target you started out by setting records he set an impressive 60 italian records 9 european ones and 3 World Records he solves the rubiks cube in less than 10 seconds even under water. We asked him to create a picture for your. He chose a woman whose face everyone knows mona lisa by leonardo da vinci. The challenge here is not to solve the rubiks cube as fast as you can but to resolve the image into pixels on the computer. How he does it is his secret. He only reveals enough to give you an idea. One of the. Things going to do is actually work with the picture when hes still in black and white the reason is that. From white to black. Would look like one of the corners of the cube i like to work on the design when its done on these 4. Because i can keep it a little bit more close to the original into the. Hardly anyone notices that one particular color is always missing. I actually dont use the green because it doesnt look good to get it without a coat its only 5 colors to create an image and so the hardest part for me is create that design which can take up to 10 days depending on how difficult it is. Giovani can target lives in the town where he was born the adriatic or so. Hes able to live from his art hes even under contract with the new york city gallery that sells his works to collectors around the world for 5 figure sums. But he sees no need to leave. Hes done a portrait of the towns most famous son opera composer george seem good publicity for the opera himself and the town. Is very i live outside of here for 4 years. During that experience. Like my road. My family of course. And anyone from here. Back to the mona lisa once again he uses over 700 rubiks cubes you construct the portrait line by line taking short breaks now and then thats important because its easy to make a mistake but extremely difficult to fix it later on. Being too close to the portrait president of allow you to see everything that is going on. I need to make sure that there are no mistakes because. Its impossible to change it. From the very 1st cube it took chobani can tarty only about 90 minutes to complete our mona lisa. Of course the very last book is always satisfying. I love it i think its right there at. The 500 year old painting as a 5 color mosaic and the riddle of the rubiks cube portrait is concealed with a mysterious smile.
