Milan-based artist Paolo Troilo has used the bodywork of a Lamborghini Huracan Evo as the canvas for his latest hand-made painting.

A Lamborghini Huracan has been turned into a mobile artwork by the fingertips of Paolo Troilo.

The Italian-born artist used the bodywork of the Lamborghini as a canvas for his unique ‘Minotauro’ (Minotaur) creation.

According to Troilo, the artwork represents the ‘the dynamism, power and innermost emotions’ he experienced when driving a Huracan Evo.

Narrowing space, distorting time

Speaking about his Lamborghini enlightenment, Troilo said: “Seeing the Huracan Evo and trying it out suggested to me that there are also things capable of releasing the same energy with acceleration, with speed, with momentum. 

“I heard the sound of the wind picking up as the space narrowed and time distorted. I felt a flowing wind and used it to paint on the muse itself, the inspiration of these emotions: the Huracan, my Minotauro.”

Using the mythical minotaur as his muse, Troilo’s artwork features a male body and a bull – the traditional symbol of Automobili Lamborghini.

As with his previous works, the painting was done by Troilo using just his fingers, with no brushes involved.

Spotted for creative talent as a child, Troilo worked for 15 years as an award-winning advertising executive. This included time spent with the renowned Saatchi & Saatchi organisation.

Choosing to move permanently into the art world, Paolo forgot to buy brushes to paint with. Instead, he chose to work with just his fingers, creating his own unique style. 

Unveiled at La Bullona in Milan, Minotauro has been displayed as part of a curated collection of Troilo’s work.

It marks the latest in a series of Lamborghini art cars. These include a pop art-inspired design created by Skyler Grey for an Aventador S in 2019.
