One morning seven years ago Giuseppe Rosano woke up and thought: “I want to create a painting.” So the founder of London shipbroker Alibra Shipping bought some materials and did just that.

Giuseppe, who hadn’t done anything artistic since leaving school 27 years ago, says he was always good with his hands and interested in design and architecture.

Teaching himself, he has moved through various art forms, from seascapes to abstract and pop art paintings and into sculpting with wood and marble, and now making objects.
