Drawing on cardboard done first in pencil main lines, finished with pantone markers, the evident lines are due to the empty markers.

The work represents a scene of an American urban landscape that I love very much, immortalizing an old Gulf service station, probably no longer in use, transformed into a service center. The whole thing is skillfully done by the Pantone colors — intense and saturated — with the delicacy of watercolors, creating a contrast between the liveliness of the sky and the more neutral tones of the architecture. The retro sign, the vintage gas pumps and the long shadows suggest a moment of afternoon quiet.
The nostalgic atmosphere is reinforced by the simplicity of the composition and the use of warm and cold colors in balance, evoking an America of the past, silent and suspended in time.

Many of the early gasoline pumps had a glass cylinder that made them very original, it was possible to see inside on a graduated scale. The desired amount of fuel was pumped into the internal combustion engine. When metering pumps came into use, a small glass globe with a turbine inside replaced the measuring cylinder to show the customer that gasoline was actually flowing into the tank. The first metered gasoline pump was in 1911, it did not have this globe, it was all operated by the staff at the service station.
Sorry for the nonsense...
